Depends on the price. If he asks for something concrete that I'm willing to part with, then, sure, let's make a deal. If he asks for something nebulous like my soul, then I'd take that to indicate that 1) souls actually exist, despite the lack of evidence and 2) it must have some real value, if Satan is willing to trade all these things for one. If that was the case, then I'd hold off on making a deal until I found out more about souls and why Satan values them so much, so that I'd be able to determine whether or not I'd be willing to part with mine.

See if you can get retail value on second hand souls and become an agent. You'll be up to your neck.

"Go away."
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Actually, now that I think about it, I would say in a hideously overdone French accent, "Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time."

Obviously, long life, prosperity and all that, happy future for the human race etc - in exchange, he can have my soul for eternal torment.

But first, I would drop heavy hints that torture and suffering really turn me on, and that the only thing I fear is eternity in happiness... that'll fox him. :D

*Opens ever ready wishlist*

Well, Mr. Devil, I'd like:

1.To be the Emperor of the World.
2.LotR Elvish immortality.
3.To cure my mental instability.
4.To give all the gift of common sense.
5.To harold in the space age as fast as physically possible.
666.To lose a couple hundred pounds of fat, and then taunt the girls who rejected me by flaunting my enormous wealth and power in their faces. Bitches.

Pending that: "I'll give you ten bucks if you buy me some vodka."
...This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old...ultraviolence.

First, I'd like a tour of hell. Then, I'd ask when he collects of souls. Depending on whether or not I find his responses favorable, I might then ask for a much quicker plague to reduce the human population, and introduce a new plague everything 200 years to keep it in check. Or I might ask for access to all video games--past, present and future.

Yeah, I was wondering when someone was going to mention 'The Devil Went Down to Jamaica'. That's what I'd do; get that motherfucker stoned six ways to next Thursday, and then ask him to do stupid shit until he sobers up. 'Hey Satan, that art-deco church is pretty ugly...hit it with lightning!" "Okay dude." Sure, he'd kick my ass later, but.... :P

Seriously, though, I'm kinda wondering if getting a tour of Hell would be a good idea. Remember those milk ads where the guy appears to have everything he wants, and Satan is posing as God, and claiming it's heaven? Then he finds out there's no milk, and you hear evil laughter and see a puff of smoke? Well, Satan's probably the more trustworthy of the two in the Bible, but I wouldn't put it past an immortal to pull the wool over my eyes on a brief 'visit'. :wink:
