Â
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, Satan replies, "Yeah, right. And just where
are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
