But these engineers were not as intelligent

Two Engineers agree to paint a flag pole. Of course they need to know how tall it is so they can purchase the paint. One shimmies up the pole with a tape measure and falls after reaching about half way. While trying to figure out how they can possibly measure the pole along comes a Designer. After asking what they're doing he replies: "That's easy". He then reaches around the pole and pulls it out of the ground and lays it down.

"There you go", he said as he walked away. The two Engineers look at each other and one said "that stupid guy will never get anywhere, we don't need to know how wide it is, just how tall".

Oh dear Marcos! d'oh!

Reminds me of this Irish joke:

Two Irish companies were competing for a contract to put up telegraph poles. The authorities decided to test them, seeing which company could put up the most poles in an hour. The first company achieved twenty but when the second company’s tally came in it was only two. ”I’m afraid you lost the job”, the second company was told, “the other boys managed twenty to your two.”

“Ah,” came the reply, “but they cheated. Did you see how much they left sticking out of the ground?”

Well, Nicola, these engineers would think only in height -talness, ellevation- provided a pole is erect, standing off ground.

At your joke here, the boys in second company thought the more pole sticked out of ground, the more could be used for a lay out. Am I right, ja, ja!?
