According to an old Twilight Zone episode I saw, the devil boasted that he can go absolutely anywhere and knows absolutely everything, and the only way to get out of a deal with the devil was to ask him to do something he couldn’t do. So the guy he was trying to make a deal with told him, “Get lost!”.
It works for me!
You know it’s tough being the Devil; always having to double check the fine print in those contracts my staff draw up. People trying to weasel out of them anyway even after I’ve kept my end of the bargain with a lifetime of wealth and fame or what ever else they bargained for. It’s always hot down here and no one really likes me, even members of my personal staff. I’m always surrounded with low life’s like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and believe me, I got ex-politicians coming out the wazoo. Plus millions of other scum bags, all of them whining and sniveling that they got a raw deal even though they eagerly signed on the dotted line. The only people who ever showed me any real sympathy were the Rolling Stones and that’s why they’re still around even though they look like they should have been dead years ago, especially Keith Richards…Lucifer, still lording it over the flies, Hell.
Damn it! Too late, I’ve been snookered. Well, at least I got the free oven mitt!
Also, be wary of anything he offers you “for as long as you live”. That’s devil-speak for “the next 5 minutes”.
You gotta watch those devil pacts. They are never approved by UL or Clark Howard.
best thing to do is never make a pact with the devil in the first place.
[Thank you for explaining the joke. -Ed.]
There is no extended warranty on Microsoft products, Frank. You’re just immediately screwed forever.
Be weary of is those damn child proof lids he put on the pact.
