Good plan! Instead of an "expiry date", it has stamped on it something
like "D100 result: 37-39".
While the tamely ascii-rendered David Cake observes:

Excellent example David, and one I wish I'd thought of while I was
busy contriving the hypothetical Shargash/Orlanth/WKW one. And if
you'll briefly permit me to add a piece of perhaps somewhat redundant
emphasis:
"But not both."
And I second the nomination of Pasi Vettenranta for awards in the
categories of Conciseness and Aptness.
Seeya,
