Is that post-1st April joke? Don't tell us you got multi IFR comm without having read the regs. Isnt' it all in the regs?
As an answer already mentioned, yes. Your initial instructor rating can be MEI and you don't have to do CFI first. Saves you flying complex aircraft later as you need complex for the initial instructor rating (ie no need to have complex single for the take offs/landing as per CFI PTS). Some FAA pilots have done it for few practical reasons regarding maneuvres in PTS as well from what I've researched in the past.
MEI alone is of limited use as without CFII you can't teach multi IFR and without CFI you can't have CFII.
