Happy Thought
Here is a chuckle since my last couple posts haven't been happy go lucky. Before reading, you just need to know that I work with a bunch of engineers and so this is all in good humor.
Jokes I received from a co-worker:
In some foreign country a priest, a lawyer and an engineer are about to be guillotined.
The priest puts his head on the block, they pull the rope and nothing happens -- he declares that he's been saved by divine intervention -- so he's let go.
The lawyer is put on the block, and again the rope doesn't release the blade, he claims he can't be executed twice for the same crime and he is set free too.
They grab the engineer and shove his head into the guillotine, he looks up at the release mechanism and says, "Wait a minute, I see your problem......"
I thought that was rather cute. This next one, I just love because of the ending!
An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates. An intern
angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly
said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place."
So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let
in. Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with
the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building
improvements. After a while, the underworld had air conditioning,
flush toilets, and escalators, and the engineer was becoming a
pretty popular guy among the demons.
One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a
sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan laughed and replied, "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's face clouded over and he exploded! , "What? You've got an
engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down
there; send him up here."
Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an engineer on the
staff, and I'm keeping him."
God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things
are supposed to work and you know it. Send him back up here or
I'll sue."
Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU
going to get a lawyer?"
