A civil engineer dies and soon finds himself in
Hell. The engineer gets dissatisfied with the
level of comfort in Hell and starts designing and
building improvements.
After a while, Hell has air-conditioning, flush
toilets and escalators. The engineer is a pretty
popular guy.
One day God calls Satan and says with a sneer,
"So, how's it going down there?"
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 a civil 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. 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?"
