Personally, it would be one of the following :

A) Show it our guinea pig, and claim that is our leader
B) Show it a lamppost and claim the reason its not talking is that its asleep
C) Find an open man-hole, and claim our leader is down there...

- If I liked hte look of him, I'd introduce him to George Bush. And not get his hopes up.
- If I didn't like the look of him, I'd tell him to look down a volcano vent. A couple of miles should do it.

I would tell him to sign up on this forum as this is where all the great people communicate. But then he would probably spam, and you would tell him to go to RGT

Since technically my leader is Bush, i would check if the alien was armed.

If he was armed, i'd send him to Bush.
If he wasn't armed, i'd give him a gun, and send him to Bush.

Quote: "What would YOU do if an alien came along as requested...blah blah blah"
I would sell the technology I used to *request* the alien to NASA for serious mucho. Of course I would also bang the alien over the head with half a brick in a sock, then parade him King Kong style through London like some sort of circus freak. With any luck the money I make from popcorn sales would allow me to buy the large supply of methane gas that is required to allow the alien's dying race to continue. Cos they have anti-asthema....

Well, you did ask...

Cheers

I'd tell him our leader was Drumnology and he'd go see Drumnology and would be like "Maybe there IS no other intelligent life out there."

I'd escort the alien to the nearest military base and go through the chain of command that way since the civilian government is poorly equiped to deal with such a problem. I'd also go through the trouble of explaining how our system of government works and why I chose the path least likely to be burdened with personal power plays and political confusion. Once on federal land, you can bypass city and state governments and immediately start up the chain to the commander in chief.

Oh man I had a funny response to this, but since I don't want to start a flamewar...

If he's armed, like Eric T said, take him to George Bush, tell him if you can be a better leader, he can kill him.

If he does kill him, then I'll have every person in the military surround him with guns and missles and make sure he keeps his promise.

If he isn't armed, I'll take him to the next screening of Barney the Dinosaur and The Tellitubies and scare the alien poo outta him, and make him and his race never come back to earth again.

Cheers,
Preston

Bush would probably go "The aliens really DO have weapons of mass destruction, let's invade em!"

Also..

I'd send the alien to some cow, and claim that it is our leader (ever watch south park?)

Oh no! Chrissy had used her powers to turn herself into a hideous man-eating giant!

Since i am hard of hearing...

i would take it to my dealer, there it would be able to smoke loads of pot, get high and forget about taking over the world, he would peace out and start talking jibberish.

Also he would take a large shipment back to his world which would make them all go back to the "stoneage".

i would ask how the hell he/she/it got to earth then try to get the technology off the beast and if all went well i would still ignore the question. or if all fails i would tie its feet together in a knot or using rope and look for some hidden cameras try to take its mask off if it all fails proberly get really anxiouse and phone the police on the way out of the contry.

Any spelling mistakes are totally In tensional.

Id tell it sure but ill have to show you the way and act as if our world knew no such thing as "fighting" or "war". Then when we are in his ship and are on our way to the white house I jump him. Take over his ship and test drive it until I know how to work it. From there I would conquer the world through religion & millitary might. And then go off and find the little guys planet... Either that or I would just put a parking ticket on his ship and tell him to just ignore this ball of rock.

What I would do with an alien invader Part 2
Because of my terrible greed, the money I made from the alien circus popcorn sales would, at the last minute, be diverted to pay for expensive garden gnomes. Understandably the alien race relying on the large amounts of methane to save their world would be rather peeved. After complimenting me on my rather swish garden gnome emporium they would arrive with an armada of star destroyers cabable of destroying large things. Such as stars for example.

Luckily the alien race would realise that infact I am the third decendent of another friendly alien race's king. This would be great as I would become grand lord dazzag of earth. Unfortuantly this other alien race has robes of office that make you look like a toilet duck. Netherless I am really happy, as their official currency is garden gnomes. Tops.

Cheers
