Driving around a few days ago, I spotted a license plate that piqued my interest.  "DVLGRL"  Filling in vowels, I figured the viewer should read Devil Girl.  Was she particularly evil?  Perhaps possessed?  A fan of a professional hockey team?  Nothing else clarified her statement as do many others with a bumper sticker or license plate frame.  Perhaps she had sold herself to the Prince of Darkness.  If so, she didn't do so well in the bargaining.  She was driving a Ford Focus. 

That led me to speculate on her ability to negotiate.  Perhaps the dealer ripped her off as well on the price of her Focus, on the financing terms, on the trade in.  After all if her deal with the Devil only netted her a low end Focus, how good could she be?

And then I pondered how good of a negotiator I am with Satan.  How often do I buy into his promise of some sort of pleasure or gain at the cost of my soul.
