You have got to be kidding me

This "tip" was included with a series of e-mail tips I received from the Dollar Stretcher today:
I save time and energy with a little housecleaning trick I learned from a friend. If you've ever scrubbed the sticky goo from the top of your refrigerator, you understand how cooking oil and smoke can mix with dust and make a mess. Now I just cover the top of the fridge with a layer of clear plastic wrap. When it gets dirty, I peel it off and throw it away, and then I replace it with a new layer. Whenever I can take short cuts and eliminate even a small portion of housecleaning, I'm happy.
Ordinarily, I like the tips I get with Dollar Stretcher, but I'll have to admit that when I read this, I thought, Lady, what kind of stuff are you smoking? Do you expect me to care what the top of my refrigerator looks like? Ever???

Jeez. Get a life. One that doesn't involve worrying about the tops of refrigerators.

At 5'2" I don't much care about the top of the fridge, but maybe I can Saran Wrap the dog to keep her from shedding. Or the car - yeah, the car! And the range hood, and the piano and that little spot behind the jewelry box on my dresser!

Sheesh.

Think I'll stick to Saran Wrapping leftovers.
