I was actually planning to dress up as Pascal Mugger for Halloween. The plan was to go to bartender during Halloween party and ask him to give me expensive cocktail for free and tell him “If you give me that for free I will spend rest of my life trying to build AI which will put you in the Utopia simulation for eternity. I know that it sounds unlikely but the price of the cocktail is immensely smaller than the monstrous Utility you will potentially gain for counting on this small probability”.
In the end I decided that the probability of being kicked out of the party was far greater than being successful Pascal Mugger, so I gave up :D.
