[The Border Terrier]

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his files and says, "Ah, you're an engineer — you're in the wrong place."

 

So the engineer reports to the gates of Hell and Satan lets him in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, designing and building improvements.

 

After a while, they've got air conditioning, flush toilets and a lift, much to the engineers growing popularity.

 

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 even a lift; 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 ended up 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 were you thinking of getting a lawyer?"
