  Non-Living Genders

  You may not know that many non-living things have a gender; For example...


  1) Freezer Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but
you can see right through them.

  2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while
to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right
buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

  3) Tyre -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often 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, 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 changed 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.

Shalom!
