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
though 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.
