"An engineer dies" joke
An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter checks his lists 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 dismal level of comfort in hell so he begins designing some improvements. He uses the fires of hell to generate electricity. He uses the electricity to manufacture things.
After a while they've got air conditioning and manufacturing plants. There he makes flush toilets and escalators. He wires hell with phones.
Needless to say 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! Couldn't be better. 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? There's been a mistake - he should never have gone down there; send him up here immediately."
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?"
