Haven't you learned anything from Home Improvement? Women will always look
for the most intelligent, elegant, subtle solution to a problem.
Men, on the other hand, naturally gravitate toward the solution that makes the
most noise, leaves the biggest mess, and gets them the most recognition (read:
notoriety). Solutions involving large amounts of explosives or incendiaries
are also quite popular.
Tim Allen has it aaaaaaall figured out :-)
