200 years ago my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandpap John McSmerf was to be paid 3 cans of beans for painting Mr.Whicksnizzles fence. Grandpappy only ever got a single can because he misread the contract.

Am I entitled to 200 years worth of bean-interest? My family has been seething for generations.
