Then, in your yard, build a structure whose walls are approximately one foot higher than could be visible from the top of that jump. Then put a sign on the side of the structure, clearly visible to the neighbors, that says "PORN SHED." (The structure should, it is needless to say, lack a roof.) Now, older kids at least will be trying to leap higher than they can in order to get a glimpse into the "PORN SHED." Broken necks abound! Oh wait - you don't want to alienate your neighbors or inspire lawsuits? Never mind. Calculate the highest height any kid is likely to be able to jump on the trampolene.

A standup comic would tell you, “the first rule is never explain!” But they go to a new town every week.

Me, I just get used to the blank looks. And, I rent (or, used to)

Just how much do you pay for your companions? I knew about the coriander/cilantro connection, and nevertheless use coriander in recipes (especially Indian dishes). It doesn't bother me as much as the "straight" herb. “Overpriced” companions is much funnier. Just how much do you pay for your companions?

Jacob's amusing book The Know-It-All. With that bit on knowledge, he saved his cilantro hating sister-in-law from accidentally eating the foul herb. I have my own funny cilantro anecdote. I was at my favorite mexican hole-in-the-wall eatery, when one of my fellow overpriced companions asked if they had any cilantro, upon which the proprietor exclaimed "Cilantro! We don't use that yuppie stuff!" Or something very similar. Apologies in advance for yet another mexican-food-related yuppie insult. And speaking of A.J. Jacobs, his Year of Living Biblically is a must-read. Hilarious yet insightful! Fun for agnostics, atheists and snake-handlers alike! Did you know cilantro is also known as coriander?

Whether or not cilantro was the actual culprit matters little. This whole incident was my plot to rid the world of tomatoes so that they would stop sneaking into MY food. As long as perception becomes common knowledge my quest for tomato abolishment will come to fruition! Ahh, but you fail to understand, grasshopper.
