An engineer dies & reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier & says, "Ah, you're an engineer. You're in the wrong place."
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell & is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, & starts designing & building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning & flush toilets & escalators, & the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone & says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning, flush toilets, & escalators, & there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake. He should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff & I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously & answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.
