You might as well… Jump!

Remember the little nursery rhyme:
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
or
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
That’s what you get for jumping on the bed!
Well here’s a web site that celebrates the monkey in most of us – especially jumping on Hotel Beds! Check out www.BedJump.com
There is something completely intoxicating about today’s hotel bed. Plush, deep, luscious, thick and oh so bouncy. Don’t deny yourself the indulgent luxury of taking a running start and launching up over that mattress and box spring that will surely propel you back up into the stratosphere.
Too much fun! I can’t wait until my next business trip to start jumping!
So as Van Halen (not Hagar) advises: You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real You might as well… Jump!
Here’s a lo-tech way to have some fun on the upcoming vacation season and perfect your digital camera skill sets. Simon (pictured above) actually demonstrates a step by step method to properly bed jump with the “fly away” technique!

I’ll bet this really excited the dust mites, if not the bed bugs. And the hotel management.

If you like this use of flash freeze-frame, go here: http://www.ghostpunched.com to see what happened to a friend of mine when he moved into his new office.

Lex: No kidding; now I know why some beds are lumpy.
Chris: I’d love to know how that technique is done – great site!
Judie: I would never try bed jumping at someone’s house!

I worked at a hotel for several years, so I can vouch for the bounciness of hotel beds. That is, I never personally jumped on our beds, of course . . . . .

Yes, it’s all fun and games until somebody gets a bloody nose! When you are 230 pounds you have to check the bounciness before you try it… otherwise you could end up bouncing back on the wall. True story by the way!

Elo, I would hate to be in the hotel room underneath you.
Lex, did you see Ocean’s 13? There is a scene where the hotel inspector looks for bugs in the room…you just invoked its memory.

Fernando at Bedjump made me laugh so hard! It’s all good natured fun.
