I am preparing my favourite dish and many are eager to taste it. Everything's completed and I just need to add my secret ingredient. I start searching getting desperate with every passing moment. I call my wife who is at a friend's place. She directs me on the phone and I still can't find it. She hurries home and with a familiar exasperation she pulls the secret ingredient out of the fridge. All the while I was searching in the same place and just couldn't find it and the wife makes it appear as if by magic.
This is a familiar experience for most men who cook. We just can't seem to find stuff until members of the fair sex find it with incredible ease. Women think secretly (and sometimes aloud) that men expect objects to materialise out of nowhere into their hands by mere divination!
