THE PEARLY GATES


An Engineer is standing outside the Pearly Gates. “Sorry,” St. Peter tells him, “but you’re in the wrong place.” He snaps his fingers and the engineer finds himself in hell.
Dissatisfied with the level of comfort there, the engineer starts making improvements. One day, God phones Satan to ask how things are going. “Great,” he answers. “We’ve got central air and escalators now. There’s no telling what that engineer will come up with next.”
“You’ve got an engineer?” God says, “There’s been a mistake. Send him back up here or I’ll sue.” “Yeah, right,” Satan chuckles. Where are you going to find a lawyer?”[1]
