Jim VBThis one is one of my favorites. It's from Lew Lipsett, but I always think of it as if it could have been adapted for Barry also:
"The 10 minute rule will start at 6 P.M., April 16, 2009. The computer system will determine when bidding has stopped and the auction is over. If the auction is not concluded by 9 P.M. a five minute rule will start. If the auction continues to 10 P.M, we have the right to end the auction at any time after 10 P.M."
Basically, he's saying the auction could be over whenever he gets tired of staying up.
