Help with Changing oil filter

Just wondering what everyone does to keep oil spilling from oil filter onto frame.
Any help would be appreciated. [8D]

2 litre plastic pop jug. Cut the bottom off and cut a channel in the side 1/2 way down to the cap so you can slip it under the filter and still get the wrench in there. Also some guys use tinfoil. And some guys don't use anything and just clean it with brakekleen or simple green. Then there are a few that don't do anything and maybe just wipe it with a rag and just have really greasy bikes. Those guys are usually from Texas and used to having oil all over everything...

Used aluminum foil for 20+ years but I'll give the 2lt. bottle a try.
