Why don't men do detail?

I find this intensely frustrating.  Perhaps it is one of the fundamental differences between men and women but why do men have so little interest in detail?  Here is a great example:-


The Shah likes to play football with a bunch of mates on a Monday night.  After the game, they repair to a local pub for a quick pint.  A couple of weeks ago he came home with this story...


Shah: You remember Richard?
Me: er, no
Shah (unabashed):  Well he told us this great story about his daughter.  She's a Nanny and she went for an interview for a job with this family who live in some mega- mansion in Kensington...
Me (not quite sure where this is going):  Oh yeah?
Shah (excited): And guess - go on, just GUESS one of the questions she was asked....
Me (puzzled): no idea...
Shah (triumphant): They asked her "what would you do if you were driving the car with my children in it and being chased by the Paparazzi?"
Me (amazed):  Blimey!  Who was it?  It must have been somebody well famous!
Shah (disinterested now):  Oh I dunno....I never asked...


GAAAAAAAH!   I mean What The actual F***?
