I received this via email from one of my favorite former students, an engineer himself. I got a good chuckle out of it, so thought I would share it.
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier 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 level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
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 an 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, 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?"

I don't have any engineers or lawyers in my immediate family so I can double over in hysterical laughter at this joke. Oh, wait a minute, my brother is an engineer. Well at least there are no lawyers in my family. So I can at least chuckle out loud. Oh no, I have a nephew in law school. Zayda, that joke is in extremely poor taste!What the heck, I just have to laugh at it anyway. -

Daily--Glad you enjoyed it. Let's hope your dad gets a chuckle out of it.
RWR--Well, I won't tell the engineers and lawyers turned congressmen in my family I posted this joke if you won't. ;) And let's remember an engineer sent this to me. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it anyway.
Moms--Glad to make you laugh.
Beyond--Errrmmm...is your wife a lawyer, by chance? :) -

Zayda: My brother doesn't have much of a sence of humor so he most likely wouldn't have gotten it, my nephew is still rolling on his apartment floor I'm sure. my previous comment about 'poor taste' was meant in jest. -

Who will judge that suit?
Zayda, I must be honest, the joke went a bit far off somehow.
I am an Engineer - working for the devil? -

Relic, that's hysterical!!!My Dad has always been so intelligent, except when it came to the common sense stuff. He over analyzes everything. He came with us when we were closing on our house, we would have been there for 40 hours if my Mother (the realtor) didn't put a stop to his madness. My cousin (the lawyer) was ready to start charging us!!!!My cousin is going to crack up with this one, I've got to send it to him. I almost forgot about that day...almost!Daily -

I like it, though I doubt the devil would have been happy with the improved living conditions. -
