Or, Huckleberry Finn's fence painting scheme.

SOooooooo...you're saying that Huckleberry Finn created 'Crowdsourcing' ?

And that Huckleberry Finn, by exploiting free labor was in fact, himself, a communist?

How marxist of you.

Yes, Comrade Po'. No Borsht... only 'Duck Soup'.

Well....let's get it kinda accurate....

It was Tom Sawyer's scheme.... 

 “Oh come, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”
The brush continued to move.
“Like it? Well I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth—stepped back to note the effect—added a touch here and there—criticized the effect again—Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said:
“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”

Actually it was Mark's scheme. He just exploited Tom to exploit Huck and the others.

Twain's a commie!

Then he sells them his version of diet pills, which also serve as arthritis pills; headache pills, cures for baldness, flatulence and the common cold. 

Talk about a snake oil salesman... he even claims they are Viagra replacements and can boost sperm counts.

There's only one warning on the pack: "Do NOT Get Stuck in Throat or You Will Get a Stiff Neck." 

Yeah, after a lengthy consultation over the internet, he tried to sell me some on the premise they would assist with impotence and hair loss, but I know he was really trying to get me to take them to eradicate extreme flatulence.... tho I think that's more a bi-product of curing the common cold.  You see, the flatulence occurred every time I sneezed, and now I'm not sneezing anymore, problem solved. 

Don't think they do much for impotence, either!  He said to take one before bed, but the trouble there is that they go to my head when I lay down... and I'm up all night cos my eyelids are.

Ok, look out... time to take another one.  Yup, they also serve as an anti-psychotic that stops me rambling on.

So if I was to stand on my head against a wall [for support] do you think it'd work for the other 'thing'?

And IF successful, what position would you call that? 

Looked high and low in the Kama Sutra and can't find a thing on it.
