What would you do with a piece of paper?
Curse me for generalizing but, what happens when you give a piece of paper to someone?
If you give the paper to a married man, he'll most likely start doodling on it, or set about constructing something in three dimensions like a paper plane. His wife will see this as a waste of both time and perfectly good paper.
Give the paper to a married woman and she'll make a list of things to be done, and then hand it to her husband. He, on the other hand, will see this as a reminder that there's a stack of paper somewhere and go off to make a paper plane. Before he's finished he will have forgotten that the list ever existed!
Is there a moral in this tail? Well, if you're a woman don't bother making lists for anyone else but yourself and if your a man, don't think your wife will be impressed by what you can make from a piece of paper.
