Hee hee! for a contract to be enforcable in English law there needs to be offer, acceptance, consideration and intention to create legal relations. Even when those are present you can probably get out of it if you can prove you entered into it under duress. Gets the point across though!
PS: consideration as a legal concept, very roughly speaking, means a mutual exchange of promises eg X promises to mow the lawn each week, Y promises to pay.
