"Engineers vs. Managers" joke
The assignment given to a group of managers was to measure the height of a flagpole. They gathered the ladders and tape measures and headed to the flagpole to carry out their task. They weren't having much luck though, since they kept dropping the tape measures and falling off the ladders.
Observing what they were attempting to do, an engineer approached them and offered to help. He pulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it down flat, measured it from one end to the other, gave the measurements to one of the managers and walked away.
After the engineer had gone, one of the managers turned to the others and said, "Well isn't that just like an engineer. We're looking for the height of the flagpole and he gives us the length."
