An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his
register and, not seeing the engineer's name there, accidentally sends him
to Hell.
It doesn't take long before the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with
the level of comfort in Hell. He soon begins to design and build
improvements.
Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flushing 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: "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning,
flushing toilets, and escalators. And 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 back 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 uproariously and answers: "Yeah, right. And where are *you*
going to get a lawyer?"
