The Death of an Engineer

The Death of an Engineer

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 or I'll sue." Satan laughs uproariously
and answers, "Yeah right, and just where are you going to get
a lawyer?"
