I grant to myself the following promise:
{
Conditions for Cashing:
- The sequence of actions described by this promise ("the task") is
POSSIBLE and LEGAL for me to perform.
- After performing the task, I would possess at least one (1) stamp
of type Murphy.
Conditions for Expiration:
- The bearer has previously attempted to cash this promise.
I take from the Library the promise "Renewable Stamps for Stamps"
created by Murphy.
I transfer one (1) R. Lee stamp to Murphy.
I cash the above promise that I now bear. (It was created prior to
this promise's execution, so this is not recursion.)
(I should now own an additional stamp of type Murphy.)
}
I cash the above promise.
(It has been brought to my attention that the above may have failed due
to the "LEGAL" condition. This reply serves to simplify the problem.)

I grant to myself the following promise:
{
Conditions for Cashing:
- I do not possess any stamps of type Murphy, and I possess at least
two stamps of type R. Lee.
- The sequence of actions described by this promise ("the task") is
POSSIBLE for me to perform.
- After performing the task, I would possess at least one (1) stamp
of type Murphy.
Conditions for Expiration:
- The bearer has previously attempted to cash this promise.
I take from the Library the promise "Renewable Stamps for Stamps"
created by Murphy.

I cash the above promise that I now bear. (It was created prior to
this promise's execution, so this is not recursion.)
(I should now own an additional stamp of type Murphy.)
}
I cash the above promise. (I now believe that this should succeed,
unless there is a bug in Murphy's promise.)
If the above promise still exists, then it meets its conditions for
expiration, and so I destroy the above promise.
