An engineer dies and
reports to the pearly
gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah,
you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place."
So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and
is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets
dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and
starts designing and building improvements. After a
while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets
and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular
guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says
with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great.
We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and
escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer
is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer?
That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down
there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on
the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah,
right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
