A man was doing an aerial survey from an aircraft at considerable altitude.
His assistant was on the ground with a hand held radio.
The surveyor calls his assistant Barry, because that was his name, and asks.
"Can you see that wheat field east of the water tower Barry?"
The country was very flat and featureless, and Barry looked toward the
tower, which he could just make out and realized it was in a westerly
direction. Turning about he tried to see the wheat field but couldn't make
it out.
"Nope can't see it from here" He replied to Bob, because that was his name.
"Of course you can, it's gotta be at least 400 acres of ripe brown wheat
Barry."
Barry stood on his toes but couldn't see the field for all he was worth.
"Nope, sorry Bob, can't see it."
A little annoyed Bob calls Barry in and says.
"It's western boundary is about 200 yards east of the tower Barry, try again
will you please."
Barry finds a small mound that is just a little raised and stepping onto it
he stretches onto his tippy toes and looks hard to the east but still can't
make it out.
"Nope, sorry, can't see it Bob." says Barry, because that was his name.
"Where in the hell are you Barry?"
"About 300 yards east of the tower Bob, but I can't see a bloody thing for
the friggin grain around me!!"
