An Engineer dies and reports
to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks in his records and
declares, "Ah, you are an Engineer. You seem to be 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. Thanks to him,
they have air-conditioning, flushing toilets and escalators. The
Engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls up the
Devil on the phone and says, "Hey, how are things are going down
there?"
The Devil replies, "Things
are great. We've got an Engineer and who knows what he'll think
of next."
God replies "What! You've
got an engineer! That's a mistake! Send him up here now!"
Satan says "No way!"
God replies, "If you don't
I'll sue!"
Satan laughs and answers,
"Yeah, right! And where are you gonna get a lawyer?"
