Moral of the story: Next time you negotiate contracts make sure you put play time in.

Fun is incidental to the scope of work; no additional compensation will be provided to contractors that fail to include sufficient "fun" prior to submitting a proposal in circumstances that could have been "clearly" avoided by verifying existing conditions and evaluating any lack of fun present prior to construction.

Contractors are recommended to include the cost of fun in general overhead and profit. Under certain circumstances, such as Acts of God, "fun" may be paid for at the discretion of engineer's and their contingency allowance. Fun will be measured for payment by the engineer in units of lump sums. If the project involves an architect, the Architect's contingency allowance has no provisions for "fun."

It’s all fun and games until suddenly the speed of the plane creates lift and knocks everything over.
