Henny Youngman solution 

Telling someone that the solution to a problem is to simply not do anything that exposes the flaw that causes the problem. From the old Henny Youngman joke: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" "Don't do that." Usually, but not always, associated with computers.
"The program crashes when I try to print!"
"Don't try to print."
"Do you have a real solution or just a Henny Youngman solution?"

Skymall solution 

An absurdly single-purposed tool or solution which solves a problem you don't actually have. Like many products in the popular in-flight catalog, Skymall.

Loosey Goosey Solution 

When a girl has a really loose vagina and you stick your hand inside along with your dick and jerk off inside.
My wife had a baby the other day, she let me perform the loosey goosey fix on that dialation. And that's the loosey goosey solution
