Here's a joke for the engineers

An engineer dies and goes to Hell. He's hot and miserable, so he decides to take action.

The A/C has been busted for a long time, so he fixes it. Things cool down quickly. The moving walkway motor is jammed, so he unjams it. People can get from place to place more easily. The TV was grainy and unclear, so he fixes the connection to the satellite dish, and now they get hundreds of high def channels.

One day, God decides to look down on Hell to see how his grand design is working out, and notices that everyone is happy and enjoying umbrella drinks.

He asks Satan, "What's going on?"

Satan says, "Things are great down here since you sent us an engineer."

"What?" says God. "An engineer? I never sent you one of those. That must have been a mistake. Send him upstairs immediately."

The devil replies, "No way. We want to keep our engineer. We like him."

God demands, "If you don't send him to me immediately, I'll sue!"

Satan laughs, "Where are you going to get a lawyer?"

3. Another Engineer Joke:

Aug 2021

Four engineers are working on an important project. By routine, the meet every Sunday and take a long walk through the woods, discussing their upcoming decisions. At the end of the walk, they take a vote. Which ever way the vote goes, that's what they do.

On this particular Sunday, one of the engineers - we'll call him Joe - is particularly urgent. For the last several Sundays, he's been outvoted 3 to 1, and he sure doesn't want that to happen again. So he argues his position logically, and passionately, and every which way he can think of. And at the end of the walk, they take a vote. And the vote goes 3 to 1 against.

Joe can't believe it. He casts his hands to the skies and says, "God, give us a sign that I'm right!" And at that moment, clouds roll in from the four directions. They gather in a dark whirlpool overhead, with lightning bolts shooting out, and a booming voice says "JOE IS RIGHT!!!" Then the clouds fade away, and the sun is shining again.

Joe looks around expectantly at the others. Finally, one of them says, "OK, so now the vote is 3 to 2."
