An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his book, and not seeing his name there, accidentally sends him to Hell.
It doesn’t take long before the engineer becomes dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell. He begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan and says: “So, how are things in Hell?” Satan replies: “Things are going great. We have air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. There’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”
“What!” God exclaims: “You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake; he should never have been sent to Hell. Send him to me.”
“Not a chance,” Satan replies: “I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him!”
God insists: “Send him back or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs and answers: “Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?”
I like the one about the engineer.
