Stephan Kinsella (who's a patent lawyer) uses an example of some clueless person writing a book and in one of the pages he says, "If you possess this book for more than a minute you are obligated to pay me $1000 per month", and he puts this book on a park bench waiting for someone to pick it up. He later tries to sue the person who picked up the book for not paying their due.

Kinsella uses this example to illustrate how some people have no idea how contracts work.
