An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates.St. Peter checks his dossier and says, Ah, youre an engineer  youre 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, theyve got air conditioning,

flush toilets

and escalators,

and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks with a sneer, So, hows it going down there in hell?

Satan replies, Hey, things are going great. Weve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and theres no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.

God replies, What??? Youve got an engineer? Thats 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 Im keeping him. God says, Send him back up here or Ill sue. Satan laughs uproariously and answers, Yeah right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?
