From Bill Farrel about his new book, Men are like Waffles, Women are like Spaghetti?

I found this quite true, and Steve and I just had waffle and some spaghetti last week too.

If you make a diagram of the way a man processes information, it looks like the top of a waffle. He puts the first issue of life in the first box, the second issue in the second box and so on. A man will spend time in one box at a time and one box only.

When a man is at work, he is at work. When he is watching TV, he is watching TV. As a result, he is a problem-solver by nature. He goes into a box, figures out the problem, assigns a soultion and then moves on.

If you make a diagram of the way a woman processes information, it looks like a plate of spaghetti. Each noodle represents an issue in life and every noodle touches each other noodle on the plate. She is, therefore, wired to connect the important issues in life and is naturally good at multi-tasking.

The italicised portion makes me laugh because I think it's so true!!
