Something like "Satan's gotten so good, he doesn't need to tempt people any more; they're fighting for a chance to pay to get in." Possibly combined with "Hell's successful strategy: Charging admission."
If not, I want to claim it.

When I used to teach how to use spreadsheets, I'd use hell's operating expenses as an example. Ever-increasing costs for heating oil; ever-decreasing costs for recruitment; $0 for refreshments. Posts: 1877 | Registered: Apr 2005

I posted something very similar here with a link to the quote from McEldowney's first or second Pibgorn tale, I think. With a slight chance it was from 9ChickweedLane. Either way, definitely McEldowney.
I've a feeling that MarkTwain or AmbroseBierce also wrote something similar.

At the risk of being the subject of ridicule for some of my really guilty pleasures in reading, it also sounds a lot like something that would have been said somewhere in the Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony.
But you wouldn't admit to reading it, would you Squick? Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

It may have been Incarnations of Immortality. I have things pop into my head at times and I often can't tell if they're from somewhere or whether the little men who work inside me sent them up.
I don't have to do anything to get these ideas though. That's the beauty of it.

is it not from Devil's Advocate? (at least that's what it made me think of, but I could be wrong)
