An engineer dies and goes to heaven. He meets St. Peter at the pearly gates and St. Peter says, "So what were you before you died?" to which the new applicant said "I am an engineer."

Not being the technical type, St. Peter asks "What do engineers do?". The engineer thought about for a second and then said "We fix things."

St Peter replied, "In that case you’re out of luck. This is heaven - everything is perfect – nothing is broken. We don’t need you. Go see the Devil."

The engineer goes to hell and tells the devil who he is. The devil replies "Great! Down here everything is broken; we could use your help. For starters, the damn A/C hasn’t worked in eons." The engineer says "I think I can fix that for you". So the engineer enters hell and proceeds to fix everything the devil asks him to look at.

About 6 months go by and hell is starting to be a real nice place to spend eternity. St. Peter decides to pay Satan a visit; he enters hell and says "Wow, this is really nice down here, what happened?" The devil says "The engineer you sent me has fixed everything broken; hell is a great place to live now."

St. Peter replies "Well as it turns out, heaven is not that great anymore. Now I have things breaking and no one up there can fix anything. I’m going to recall your engineer and allow him to enter heaven." Satan says, "No you’re not! You didn’t want him before and I’m not going to give him to you now!"

The two argue for a while and finally out of frustration, St. Peter says, "If you don’t release him immediately, I’ll take you to court and sue you!"

Satan breaks out in laughter.

St. Peter asks "What’s so funny?" Satan replied "Where are you going to find a lawyer?"



Thought it was an engineering joke didn’t you?
