Millie Tannen (To Hell with the Lawyers)
|
|

An engineer died and reported to hell.
Pretty soon, the engineer got dissatisfied with the level of comfort in
hell and started designing and building improvements. After a while, they
got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators and the engineer was
a pretty popular guy.
One day God called Satan up on the
telephone and said, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan 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 replied, "What? You've got an
engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gotten down there; send
him up here at once."
Satan said, "No way. I like having
an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God said, "Send him back up here or
I'll sue."
Satan laughed uproariously and answered,
"Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?"
