These

A
bit of o’ sun
A
bit o’ cheer
And
a guardian angel
Always

Two
Irishmen, one short and one tall, get a contract to paint a flagpole.
While
trying to compute the area, so they'll know how much paint to buy, the
short one stands on the tall one's shoulders and
stretches
to reach the top to compute the height. His reach is short by several inches.
So, the taller guy says maybe if they switch
positions,
because he's taller maybe he can touch the top. (???) They switch positions
and naturally he can't touch the top, either.
While
sitting, pondering another approach to computing the area, a weight lifter
comes by. The Irishmen explain their problem. The
weight
lifter goes over, wrestles the flagpole out of its socket, lays it down,
measures it from bottom to top, gives them the figure, then manhandles
the flagpole back into its cement socket and walks off.
One
Irishman looks at the other one, then says, "If that isn't just like a
stupid weight lifter. You ask him the height and he gives you the length. |
