I'm very careful to tell them I want the 'book' service when I go in.
I give up. What the hell is friction proofer?
It goes by many names: Pixie Dust, Snake Oil ; fairy dust; Mystery
Oil, Slick 50 etc.
It is a very effective way to quickly and easily, with very little
friction to lube money from your wallet into their wallet.
OK. I thought Slick 50 was sued out of existence.
