    Alice’s prepaid telephone calling card said ‘Expires August 31, 2001’ on the back.

    She decided to use the remaining value of the card at 8:00 pm on August 31.

    Unfortunately, the card had already been terminated when she tried to make a call. There was no value remaining. She held a worthless piece of plastic.
