- In a previous article, dfk0@ns1.cc.lehigh.edu (David F. Keppel) says:
- >* the refrigerator is always full

- Sorry, I must disagree with this one. In TV and movie land, either the
- refrigerator is next to absolutely empty (the Bundys, any bachelor
- cop who lives alone [he'll usually have beer and a bottle of ketchup
- and nothing else, except maybe something rotten in the corner... :-)])
- or what I would call "sparsely full", where one can look inside and
- actually *see* what is in there, and even move stuff around inside
- to look behind things...
-
- MY refrigerator is "full" -- opening it, you see a solid mass of stuff,
- piled upon each other, with no (or practically no) empty space visible.
- To find anything, you have to start pulling stuff out and pile it on the floor.
- Something in the back requires a major expedition to discover... :-)
