*************************
here is one for you:
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 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 guess where all the lawyer are?"
same height
