AN ANGINEER IN HELL

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,

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,

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 BEEN SENT 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 HYSTERICALLY AND ANSWERS,

"YEAH, RIGHT. 

AND JUST WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET A LAWYER?"
