 Bubba
and Billy were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.
A
handyman boaj walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're
supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba,
"but we don't have a ladder."
The
boaj took a wrench from his belt, loosened a few bolts, and laid
the pole down. Then he took a tape measure from his pocket, took
a measurement and announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches,"
and walked away.
Billy
shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a boaj!
We ask for the height, and he gives us the length!"

| A
couple of boajes in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One
of the boajes walked into the office and said, "We need some
four-by-twos." The clerk said, "You mean two-by-fours,
don't you?" The boaj said, "I'll go check," and went
back to the truck. He returned A minute later and said, "Yeah,
I meant two-by-fours."
"All
right. How long do you need them?" The boaj paused for a
minute and said, "Uh... I'd better go check."
After a while, the boaj returned to the office and said, "A
long time. We're gonna build a house."
