Engineers vs. Managers

A group of managers were given the assignment to measure the
height of a flagpole. So they go out to the flagpole with
ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off the ladders,
dropping the tape measures - the whole thing is just a mess.

An engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do,
walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat,
measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the
managers and walks away.

After the engineer has gone, one manager turns to another and
laughs. "Isn't that just like an engineer, we're looking for the
height and he gives us the length."

Only In New York -

I went for a walk this afternoon up 7th Ave.
Anyway you know how people are sometimes camped out on the sidewalk holding signs that say, "please help I'm hungry" or "need money for food". Well I saw 2 enterprising people who had a sign, "Need money for beer research". I thought to myself, hey at least they're honest!!
