IRISH ENGINEERS and a BLONDE

Two Irishmen were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.

A blonde walks by and asks what they are doing.

Paddy: "We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole, but we

don't have a ladder."

The blonde took a spanner from her purse, loosened a few bolts and

laid the flagpole down. She pulled a tape measure from her pocket,

took a few measurements and announced that it was eighteen feet and

six inches. She then walked off.

Mick: "Ain't that just like a blonde! We need the height and she

gives us the length."

I don't understand this joke one bit. Why would a blonde girl have a spanner in her bag? What use would she have for carrying it?

If there are any blond female contributers to the forum perhaps they would be kind enough to explain the joke to me.

My very lovely blonde wife will not be home until very late Colin but she would probably say to hit rude numpties with ;-) She tends to carry a tape measure and multitool that has an adjustable spanner end, to the shock horror of builders merchants she knows her way around the building materials and timber sizes for a house and will mix cement, concrete and bonding and thistle finish plasters.

Flat pack funiture is one of her specialities and quite a few schools have a variety of flat pack that she has assembled, my blonde and red head daugters are the same and changeing a car, caravan or trailer tyre is not a problem and they also can wire plugs.

Cris with a technically based female family would I be right in assuming that you do the cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing in your household? What a tallented bunch of ladies.

 

[cris_408518]

Yes, I always do 95% + of the cooking in the caravan and I can fix the washing machine and dishwasher and use them and I have never let anyone iron for me since I was about 12 and my grandfather taught me how to get the best creases in my best trousers!

I fix the cars, bikes, mowers and strimmers etc and my wife cuts the grass ;-) and we had a few more acres before than we do now.

We've always shared jobs around the home and when it comes to building my wife knows how I like the mortar for laying

bricks ;-)

Cris - my wife has been fixing the dish wahser for going on 39 years - she married me. Joking aside my wife is the gardener, I am the gardener's mate - she has the green fingers. She is also a damn good cook and enjoys diy especially painting & decorating. All told I would have to admit that around the house she is far more talented than I am.
