Engineering In Hell
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, youre an engineer — youre 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, theyve 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, hows it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. Weve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and theres no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."God replies, "What??? Youve got an engineer? Thats 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 Im keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or Ill sue."Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
