A boy goes and buys a one-piece fishing pole that is 6' 3" long. As he goes to get on the bus, the bus driver tells him that he can't take anything on the bus longer than 6'.

The boy goes back to town, buys one more thing, and the bus driver allows him on the bus.

He did not damage the fishing pole in any way.

What did he buy, and what did he do with it?

(In reply to re(2): solution is wrong by donnmike)

No, because then anythink the bus driver was wearing wouldn't count, or any of his organs; they are things too. He couldn't take his backbone in. You have to interperet it to mean nothing 6 on the dimensions. Think of it subjectively; if something is in tricks you can pull this; if it's not you can't.
