From the docs:

The LIMIT clause consists of two independent sub-clauses:

LIMIT { count | ALL }
OFFSET start

count specifies the maximum number of rows to return, while start specifies
the number of rows to skip before starting to return rows. When both are
specified, start rows are skipped before starting to count the count rows to
be returned.

How do you skip -1 rows?
