What gender is it?
If you're like most people, common everyday items look inert to you. But
what you may not know is that many of them have a gender. For example . .. .
Ziploc Bags -- Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right
through them
Copier -- Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. It's
an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can
wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed
Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and often it's over inflated
Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because to get it to go anywhere you have to light
a fire under it . . . and, of course, there's the hot air part
Sponges -- Female, because they're soft and squeezable and retain water
Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on
Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up
Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom
Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years,
but it's handy to have around
Remote Control -- Female .. . .. Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider
-- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't
always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying
