Product of our Public Schools

This was in Readers Digest:

I worked over the summer for a tour-bus company in Washington, DC. While we were driving past the Washington Monument, a woman asked me. "How do they get all the flags to fly in the same direction?"

Joe, Is that (Reader's Digest) the 1970's equivalent to "I read it on the internet"? Lol

She's not the only one - this picture on Flickr had this comment by the owner:

maybe the wind blows in different directions

I couldn't figure out how the kite sailors could go in oposite directions on the same wind. Notice the 3 masted sailing ship.
