ARE YOU A MANAGER?

>> A group of managers was given the assignment of measuring the
>> height of a flagpole.  They go out to the flagpole with ladders
>> and tape measures, but  they continually fall off the ladders
>> and drop 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!"
