| An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his dossier and says, "You`re an engineer, you`re in the wrong place." So the engineer reports to the Gates of Hell and is welcomed. Soon, the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell; he begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy. One day, God calls Satan and says with a sneer, "So, how are things in Hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We`ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. And, there`s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." "What! You ve got an engineer? That`s a mistake - he should never have been sent to Hell... send him to me." "Not a chance! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I`m keeping him!" God insists, "Send him back or I`ll sue." Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?" |
