These things are easy to get around. From Nestroy's Höllenangst.
PFRIM. Nix leichter, als das. Auf Zehn Jahr' schließt er
meistens seine Contract', da machen wir das Ding so.
Neun Jahr leben wir recht flott und fidel und in Zehnten
Jahr geh'n wir auf Rom, nacher is der Teufel erst noch
der G'foppte.
Rough paraphrase: these contracts are usually for 10 years. We have fun for the first nine, then on the tenth we go on a pilgrimage to Rome and fool the Devil.
