The graveside service
had just ended when
there was a frightening
clap of thunder, fol-
lowed by a tremendous
bolt of lightning
accompanied by even

at the pastor and said

working late one night
when his door opens
and in walks Satan
himself. “I have an
offer,” says Satan.
“If you give me your
soul and the soul of
everyone in your fam-
ily, I’ll make you a full
partner in your firm.”
The lawyer stares
icily at the devil for
a full minute before
demanding, “So what’s
the catch?”

✦Hi. I’m the best friend
of a murder victim. Even
though the police come to
my workplace to question

clear these busy tables as
we talk instead of giving
them my full attention.

✦Hello. I am a person
using a phone in a movie.
