Engineering In Hell

joke found on Yahoo

Published on October 7, 2007 By MasonM In Humor

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 awhile, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

Satan replies, "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 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?"

This is terrible, we, engineers, cant get a break? our good work always comes back to bite us you know where.

If he was a lousy engineer satan will be more than happy to get rid of him and send him to heaven. Like they say, no good work goes unpunished

Here's another that a friend reminded me of today:

It's a beautiful afternoon and an engineer and his priest are out on the golf course and are stuck behind what seems to be the absolute slowest golf foursome anyone could ever encounter on the golf course. The engineer keeps looking over at the foursome ahead of them mumbling under his breath about how long they are taking and how slowly they are completing their round and how much it's slowing up the engineer and the priest. The priest keeps hearing the mumbles and keeps consoling the engineering and reminding him that patience is a virtue.

As the engineer and priest get closer to the end of their own round, they are quite literally about to run over the foursome, and they pull up to the tee right behind the foursome and their caddies. One of the caddies comes over to the duo and tells them that he's very sorry for the delay on the course and how slow the foursome has played.

The priest tells the caddy that it's all ok, but the engineer pipes up and asks why the foursome was taking so long. The caddy answers politely that the foursome is comprised of one of the richest members of their club and a group of his friends, and it just so happens that the club member was recently blinded by accident, with his friends all members of a school for the blind.

The priest hears this news and says something along the lines of "Oh, my lord. Let me say a blessing for them."

The engineer hears this news and questions "Why don't they play at night?"
