Notes: It's a slow day in hell
and the devil goes to Lefty's saloon looking for new... `tenants'. He meets Sammy
Snodgrass, who never refused or lost a bet. The devil bets him that he will refuse him to
grant Sammy a wish (and thereby winning his soul). So Sammy doesn't refuse him. He
wishes the devil will never claim his soul. So now the devil can claim his soul... but he
can't. Sammy leaves the devil to work that on out and he is still working on it. - Ger A.
