Various mumbo-jumbo types of services - thematically - seem to often include cleaning, which actually probably does a bit of good. There are several types of mumbo-jumbo services that I see offered, but I’m going to not mention them specifically here. Perhaps, those who offer them actually believe in them.
Sadly, some of who buy into those types of services also vote.

I am not sure about mumbo, but i know i like jumbo when it describes tubas...

Please tell me more about your offering.

(And now i'm also stuck considering the word "whatever"... Ever is a really long time, isn't it?)

- soybean-based lacquer, because it's (actually) green 'n' stuff
- recycled aluminum foil, glued on with flour-and-water paste - to avoid the silver cyanide contamination

In that case, i'm probably out.

I was hoping for something more like a mamba. A jumbo mamba could be worth getting in on the ground floor. Endorsed by mama and papa no less. I bet people would line up for it like they did for congas back when.

Dear Mr. @LeMark,
Doesn't some of this need to be moved to the "bad ideas" thread, or no...(??)

It depends if the soy beans have gone rancid.

As a responsible world citizen, I only make my lacquer from rancid soy beans, because fresh ones need to be used to feed the Eloi.
