A man died and went to heaven.  However, the clerk at the entrance of heaven
would not let the man in.  "I'm sorry sir, but I can't seem to find any heavenly
admittance paperwork for you.  You probably have come to the wrong facility. I
suggest that you try down below."

"There must be some mistake," the man said.  "I've lived a good and decent
life.  I belong in heaven!"

"I'm sorry sir, but there's nothing I can do," said the clerk.  So the man
reluctantly went down to hell.

The dmon at the entrance of hell couldn't find any paperwork for the man either.
The demon asked the man, "What did you do for a living?"

"I was an engineer," said the man.

"Great!" said the demon.  "We could use an engineer."  So the demon
processed an emergency paperwork waiver permit and let the man into hell.

The engineer found things in hell pretty uncomfortable.  So he went to work to
try to improve things.  First he installed air conditioning.  Then he installed flush
toilets, escalators, and adjustable recliner chairs with vibrator attachments.
Soon hell was quite comfortable.  The denizens of hell were so happy that they
held a big party and celebrated the engineer as their guest of honor.

When God heard the noises of joy coming from hell, he got suspicious and
investigated.  God found out about the engineer, the missing paperwork, the air
conditioning and everything else.  "This is terrible!" God exclaimed. "Hell isn't
supposed to be comfortable.  This will ruin my whole Plan!"

God ordered all of the available angels to look for the paperwork about the
engineer.  Finally, the missing paperwork was found where it had become
wedged in between two clouds.  It turned out that the engineer had indeed
lived a good and decent life and was supposed to go to heaven.  So God
contacted Satan and insisted that the engineer be sent back where he
belonged.

Satan laughed and replied, "No way!  Things are going great for us since the
engineer arrived.  Next he's going to install cable TV, video games, and internet
access.  Soon hell will be more pleasant than heaven!"

God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed
to be and you know it. Send the engineer back to heaven or I'll sue."

Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get
a lawyer?"
