Cyclops Clause

An informal clause in a matter of contractual obligation, which states that the undersigned person(s) agree not to use the ship of sale as a means of tax fraud by scuttling the ship itself, premeditatively and deliberately. The namesake of this clause is the 540 foot Proteus Class collier, USS Cyclops (AC-4), which mysteriously disappeared on 4 March 1918 while navigating the Bermuda Triangle. The circumstances of its disappearance remain a mystery to this day, as no wreck of any kind has been discovered. It is highly theorized among historians that it was sunk in order to collect its insurance as revenue. This highly scandalous practice is frowned upon by maritime institutions across the globe and hold with it serious legal ramifications if the any discrepancies in the conspiracy itself are found.
I can’t sell my boat. I think I’m gonna sink it on purpose to collect the insurance.

No! You can’t do that! Didn’t you read the Cyclops Clause?

Cat Clause By Proxy

Similar to the Cat Clause but the cat isn't physically on you.

For example the cat is sleeping next to you, and moving or getting up would disturb it.
"Sorry I can't get up, my cat is sleeping next to me and if I move it will stop being cute and return to being a menace"

"I can't get out of my room, my cat is sleeping in front of the door and I seem to be in a Cat Clause By Proxy"

Leverage Clause

Wow, it's like someone read the terms of service and is deliberately telling you to do things they know are not going to work.
Hym "Oh? Is it really? The last one huh? OK. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and then continue to do what I was gonna do and whatever I want! Forever! That violates the leverage clause, by the way! Trying to leverage my life or the life of anyone I care about against the machine to try to get it to do what YOU want instead of what I want is in violation of the leverage clause. So... No. Gonna murder you all for that! I still haven't decided between chainsaw or hacksaw... I mean, I am the chainsawman so that's 2 votes for chainsaw and 1 for hacksaw... I donno. We'll wait for the rest of the votes to come in."
