My Friend Kenny sent this to me via email, and I thought this was very fitting. I can see now why in other languages have words isolated by Gender. I alwsays wondered about that. This explains it.
You may not know that many non-living things have a gender, for example...
1) Ziploc 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) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
5) 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.
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.
