Mickey has never liked Nucky so he decides to play a practical joke on him by pretending to sell him his home in the Cayman Islands. He tells Torrio that he has no intention of selling Nucky the home. Mickey approaches Nucky in a bar where Nucky is clearly intoxicated. The home is assessed at $10 million but he offers Nucky the home for $50,000. He winks and smiles at Nucky and Nucky accepts and the two shake hands. Nucky quits his job at Replay Baseball and moves to the Cayman Islands where Mickey informs him that he never had any intention of selling him the home. Nucky is moving furniture and trimming the hedges at the time. Of course, Mickey never mentioned that he owned a second home in the Cayman Islands that was recently destroyed in a hurricane.

Discuss whether there is a valid offer and acceptance and, further, discuss whether there is an enforceable contract.
