Could have made it slightly more interesting by making the price credible.

Decades ago I "acquired" SUN microsystems by negotiating with a clickwrap agreement that was an editable text box-- they even sent me back the revised terms! (Technically they agreed to pay me substantially for using their software and reporting bugs, which I did... and eventually per the terms I owned the whole thing. :P )

When Oracle later went acquire them I considered writing in and bringing their attention to out contract. But then I there was some slim chance they might actually pay me to go away, people extort companies in even dumber ways, which seemed far too gross so I didn't do it.

[Though I have no doubt that Oracle would happily enforce some absurd agreement against anyone they thought was good for some money...]
