I'm fond, however, of the bungee jumpers and someone has to vote for the

The sender would have fewer troubles if they learned to inhale Umbrian
weed. ;)

Unless it's one of those dictionary-typo things.

If it's a typo, I couldn't guess confidently at what was originally meant; weak? work? weed? -- and as I mentioned, I did not want to add to the sender's troubles at this time (or ever, I guess).

Vox Pop 4 and 9 - my spillchucker did, indeed, change "weed" to "week"
as you have clearly indicated that it is a fake def by posting that it was
from a "sender" (who was very jet-lagged at the time)

I'll try plants, 3 and 8.

(I misread #10 the first time through. I thought the men jumped off the towers with vines tied to their "manhood." Ouch!! Having vines tied to their feet is at least plausible, even though it didn't get my vote.)

I'm tempted by the Umbrian sort of week, but I don't believe it enough to
vote for it. Instead, I'll try the copper engraving and the skin
condition, 6 and 9:

6: method of copper engraving with even gradation of tones

9: a skin condition causing hardness and flaking, commonly occurring on
pressure points such as the elbow

Well, we all know it isn't the awesome Umbrian weed, and I know it's not
the one I submitted, but that doesn't help; I haven't the slightest notion
which of the other 15 may be the real MARULA. My totally random guesses: 10
or 15.
