An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his
dossier and says, "Ah, 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 discomfort
in hell, and starts designing and building improvements.
After a while, they've got air conditioning, 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 the
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 exactly
where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
