An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist were standing around the university flagpole when an English professor wandered by. “What are you doing?” he asked. “We need to know the height of the flagpole,” said one, “and we’re discussing the formulas we might use to calculate it.” “Watch!” said the English professor. He pulled the pole from its fitting, laid it on the grass, borrowed a tape measure and said, “Exactly 24 feet.” Then he replaced the pole and walked away. “English professor!” sneer the mathematician, “We ask him for the height, and he gives us the length.”
A young man was trying to park his car between two others. He put it in reverse and bang, right into the car behind him.
He then went forward and bang, right into the car in front.
A young woman watching the maneuver couldn’t contain herself. “Do you always park by ear?” she asked.
“Please keep your dog beside you, sir,” a woman said crossly to the man sitting opposite to her on the bench at the park. “I can feel a flea in my shoe.”
“Midnight, come here,” replied the man.
“This woman has fleas.”
