1. Tip it upright when he is there
Tell him it's a big screen TV.

6. Yup
Ten bucks at some garage sale somewhere and a load of old Little Rascal reels and you're good to go.

3. Ohhh... like a hoop skirt.
That would make for some serious power squats, too!

7. Tell him you need him to do some chore in the back yard, and he'll never go out there and see it.
Problem solved.

8. Make sure you get the net surround.
And, tell him that it will cause the MNlets to become utterly exhausted and is worth every penny.

We're on our second one.

9. You dig a 4 foot deep 14' hole in the ground
then put the trampoline in it, then cover that with grass.


Just make sure to remember it's there when mowing the lawn. Lawnmowers and trampolines never mix well

26. I was thinking that same thing except not covering it with grass
just bouncing on it after it's buried. Would definitely be less of an eyesore.

10. Take him out for a "after the kids are in bed" naked romp on it.
He won't care after that. Just wake him up before sunrise or the neighbors will probably notice.

It didn't fall off like my mother said it would if I did that.

11. Sink it in the pool
You do have a pool, don't you?


If not, you need to dig a pool, fill it with water, then sink the trampoline in it.

16. Tilt it onto its side and say it's a satellite dish
True Fact: Everyone who has ever jumped on a trampoline has either died outright or shattered both femurs.

21. Grape vines
Grow them in the safety netting, thereby disguising both the trampoline and the net. It will also provide fresh, organic grapes and raisins, and can be used to make boxed wine if the situation calls for it.


Just, yanno, don't have the kids wear white...

23. Yes.....
behind a 42" HD LCD TV with Blue-ray player and surround sound speakers.

It is the only way to safely do it.

31. When I lived in Baltimore I used to go out to the fenced in backyard
and bounce on the trampoline with "I am Woman" blasting on the stereo

all my neighbors thought I was nuts










they didn't know I had a trampoline


:bounce:

That is an old Ellen Degeneres joke btw
