Refactoring is also like doing the dishes in that it is a lot easier to do while the mess is still fresh. If you wait to do the cleaning, the 'goo' has set in and it is harder to do the scrubbing. (Unless you are using paper plates!) One more: Leaving a mess around (code or dishes) invites bugs! I like the analogy.
