The Engineer in Hell


An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. By mistake, St. Peter
directs him to go below. So the engineer reports to the gates of Hell
and checks in.

After a few days the engineer becomes very dissatisfied with the level
of comfort in Hell, and decides to do something about it. He designs and
builds many improvements, and pretty soon they have air conditioning,
flushing toilets, and escalators. Needless to say, 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, flushing toilets, and
escalators, and there's no telling what this new engineer you sent me is
going to come up with next!"

God replies, "What?! You've got an engineer? That's a mistake! He should
have never have gotten down there. Send him up to me at once!"

"NO way!  I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him!"
says Satan.

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?"
