-
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 awhile, 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?"
