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?"
