　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?"
