Hmm.... I had no idea there were so many ways to use Bounce sheets!! Although I have to say, what if they didn't keep bees away... but attracted them? Ok, picture this... A group of male golfers (Frankie and Greg being 2 of them) with a wad of bounce sheets in their back pockets... Now picture said group of guys running like sissys because a swarm of angry bees are attacking their butts!! Haha!!
