Gender

 

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:

 

1. Ziploc Bags -- Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right through them.

 

2. Copier -- Female, because once turned off, it takes awhile to warm up.  It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, can wreak havoc if the    wrong buttons are pushed.

 

3. Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and often it's over inflated.

 

4. 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.

 

5. Sponges -- Female, because they're soft and squeezable and retain water.

 

6. Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.

 

7. Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

 

8. Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

 

9. Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

 

10. Remote Control -- Female . . . Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- 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.
