Three 3rd year college students of engineering, mathematics and physics were classmates in Math 307. They were standing around the college flagpole when an English professor wandered by. " What are you doing?", he asked.
"We need to know the height of the flagpole," answered 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!" sneered the math student, "We ask him for the height, and he gives us the length."
