Difference between a man and a woman:

he needs it.

Doesn't quite reflect our house. The woman /may/ buy something she doesn't
need cos it's a pound rather than 2 (but would more likely put it in her basket
for half an hour, wander around, then put it back).
The man will not only buy something he imagines he needs but doesn't really,
which costs 2 instead of 1, but he'll also buy an extra in case it breaks, plus
a packet of 24 refills for it. All of which will get left in the middle of the
floor for 6 months before migrating into the loft.

That rings a bell!
