Dumpster, your comment about plastic and slipcovers made me think of something that happened recently with our shiny, brushed steel Emerson microwave.
We thought there was a blister on the control panel button marked "+30 sec", which gets a lot of use. I bitched about the quality of merchandise these days and muttered something about the guarantee.
My wife later found that this blister could be peeled off - along with the whole panel.
Yes, it was a plastic cover. We now have a shiny, new microwave display.
By the way, I think you'd like an English comedy called The League of Gentlemen. It features a family called the Dentons, who are obsessed with cleanliness and bodily functions. They have a plastic cover on the settee, and colour-coded towels for different body parts:
"White for hands, brown for feet,
Green for torso, thighs, and seat.
And in the cellar, 'neath the stair,
You'll find the red, for pubic hair."
If you could, who would you upperdeck
