Engineers


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?"
