Whoa, that's a whole 'nother discussion. I'm not saying the silly part
is buying a new fridge, since they definitely don't make anything like
they used to. The silliness is in destroying a perfectly-good fridge that
has lasted 30 years just because you can't win an argument with your wife.
Either figure out a better argument, or get to like that old fridge...
but sneaking around and destroying it just to get a new one ( that'll
never last as long, as pointed out ) is just silly.
