RE oven cleaning - at least I don't have to do it the old-fashioned way, spreading newspapers all over the floor, spraying Easy-Off inside the oven, then crawling inside to wipe off all that gunk!
Years (and I mean, y-e-a-r-s) ago, in the early rehearsal stages of a show DR Elmore was directing he had all the cast members do pantomime improvs (girls, a household chore; guys, a sport or game). Mine was cleaning the oven, the old fashioned way. Nobody guessed what I was doing until I gagged and coughed.
