I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes.

Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.

Louis Sachar
