> An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates.
>> St. Peter checks his dossier
>> and says: "Ah, you're an engineer, but you worked
>> for a high-tech startup
>> company and got rich. You've had too good of a life,
>> so now you can't come in here."
>>
>> 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 and flush toilets and escalators. The
>> computers are all upgraded
>> and there are speaker wires running to every room.
>> Even the clocks on the VCRs
>> are set. The engineer becomes 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 and
>> flush toilets and escalators. The computers are
>> faster than ever and we've got
>> music in every room. 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 gotten down there! Send him up here, now."
>>
>> Satan shouts back, "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 find a lawyer?"
