Cleaning The Fridge -- Short Cummings Audio #28

When my wife said it was time to clean the fridge, I considered running away to join the circus as the new assistant for Lefty the Lion Tamer, or maybe the French Foreign Legion, or something really extreme like the Boy Scouts.

It's not the contents of the fridge which terrify me. Sure, the fuzz on the cheese may be old enough to vote in some states and has achieved the low level of sentience normally associated with Political Strategists and the guy who designed the shrink-wrap packing on CDs. There's also the vast array of unidentifiable foodstuffs which have been carefully preserved in individual containers. The margarine tub is particularly problematic because we're no longer certain if it contains non-dairy spread or applesauce.

None of that is as terrifying as the thought of cleaning the outside of the fridge.
