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?"
