"Engineers and Lawyers" joke

God strolls to the gates of heaven to talk to St. Peter. He says "Peter, you look tired, why don’t you take a vacation, kick it in the Caribbean for a week or two, and I’ll watch the gates." So, St. Peter goes on vacation.

An engineer comes to the gates, God takes a look at him, and says, "You’re in the wrong place." So he turns around, feeling quite rejected, and goes down the escalator to the gates of hell. There the devil greets him with open arms. After about a week, the engineer decides hell is just too hot and uncomfortable, so he talks to the devil and arranges to have water piped in, air conditioning installed, and swimming pools built. So after a month of construction, hell is getting to be a nice tropical place to be.

God calls the devil and asks, "So, how are things down there, pretty hot, huh?"

And the devil replies," No, actually it’s pretty nice. We have an engineer down here who helped us pipe in some water and air condition the place."

God says, "No, wait, that’s a mistake, the engineer was supposed to be up here."

The devil says, "Too bad, were keeping him."

God is angry: "I want that engineer, I’m going to sue."

The devil smiles his most confident smile and says, "Yeah? Where are YOU going to get a lawyer???"
