EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER


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.
