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.

Because human relationships, like all mammals, are dictated by female choice.

(Only partly snarky, here. Female choice gets so underrated that I like to make competing overrating claims.)

I'd like to thing that human relationships are more about mutual choice (at least in the optimal circumstances), but I see your point.

Just smarting from the many rounds of yelling at that I've gotten when some tall woman perceives me to be "stealing" from her prospective pool.

At one point, all the men I'd dated were in the 6' range, but since then my partners' heights have ranged from 4'11" to 6'4" (to my 5'2").
