Ha Ha!
I kind of have this problem too. Nobody in my house really knows just HOW MANY ukes I ACTUALLY have other than, you know, like 4 or 5 or so....(and not the 16+
"OMG - what is your PROBLEM?!?!?!" would be the response if they found out the truth)
That was a good Belly laugh, thanks Booli.
Yes, this works very well - I only have 4 out and hanging up at a time, and the rest are in cases in the back of the closet, and when asked "Is that one new?" I say 'no'...
(and that it was in it's case in the closet, and since it's actually been there for 'months', it's not NEW anymore) so I'm not actually lying at all.... hehe
Nobody ever looks in the closet (that I know of), and if they do, they just see a bunch of cases....
of course there is a rotation about very fortnight as to which ukes are 'out' and which ukes are hibernating, so I keep everyone guessing...
