Engineer in Hell
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?"
