A mechanical engineer died went to heaven Upon arrival Saint Peter checked THE BOOK and didn`t find his name so he informed the engineer that he must get on the elevator and go DOWNSTAIRS Reluctantly the engineer boarded the elevator for the long trip DOWNSTAIRS and upon arrival in hell found that he was very uncomfortable due to the excessive heat He asked to see the devil and was granted an interview at which time he requested a large of materials with which to build an air conditioner The devil replied that he could have anything he wished and what he couldn`t find they would steal So the engineer spent a month and a half building an air conditioner which when completed cooled hell off only a few degrees Somewhat unsatisfied the engineer requested additional materials with which he spent another month and a half building a sprinkler system to add to the cooling effect of his air conditioner Hell was getting much cooler now and folks were beginning to almost enjoy it About a month later the red phone rang The devil answered and found that God was on the other end of the line Remember that mechanical engineer we sent down about 4 months ago? God queried Hell yes I remember Said the devil Well Saint Peter missed that man`s name on the last page of our book because the page was stuck to the one in front of it So I want you to send the engineer back UPSTAIRS as is our agreement If they`re on THE BOOK then they stay UPHERE and if not they go DOWNSTAIRS God exclaimed I`ll be damned if your going to get that engineer back He`s put in an air conditioner and a sprinkler system down here and folks are almost happy to be here I expect that when some folks hear about this they may begin to request to be sent DOWNSTAIRS said the devil Now look here We have an agreement In the book---UPSTAIRS and not in the book---DOWNSTAIRS If you don`t send that engineer back right away I believe I`ll have to sue you shouted God And just where do you think you`ll get an attorney? replied the devil
