(Ralph is a retired engineer also)
An engineer died and
reported to the pearly gates. An newly annointed angel, filling in
for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly said, "Ah, you're
an engineer; you're in the wrong place." So the engineer was
cast down to the gates of hell and was let in. Pretty soon, the
engineer became gravely dissatisfied with the level of comfort in
hell, and began designing and building improvements. After a while,
the underworld had air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators,
and the engineer was becoming a pretty popular guy among the demons.
One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a sneer,
"So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan laughed and
replied, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air
conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling
what this engineer is going to come up with next." God's face
clouded over and he exploded, "What? You've got an engineer?
That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up
here." Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an
engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." God was as mad as
he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed to
work and you know it. Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan
laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going
to get a lawyer?"
