An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates, but it's St. Peter's day off, and the junior angel manning the gate doesn't let him in. So he goes to the Other Place, and doesn't like it much - it stinks, he has to climb endless winding staircases to get anywhere, and it's as hot as, well, Hell.

He starts sketching designs, asks for some parts, and in a couple of weeks the whole place is fitted with air conditioning, escalators and flush toilets. All the demons are really happy about this, and the engineer becomes extremely popular.

A week later, God phones Satan to ask how things are going down there. To God's surprise, Satan says, "Everything's really great. We got an engineer last month and now we have air conditioning, and escalators, and flush toilets..."

God replies in a voice like desert thunder.

"WHAT? Who sent you an engineer? You're not supposed to get engineers? Send him back, now!"

"I like him, I think I'll keep him"

"Send him back now, or I'll sue!"

Satan laughs. "Where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
