EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this, but many nonliving things have a gender.

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


Copiers
are Female, because once turned off; it
takes a while to warm them up again. They are effective
reproductive devices if the right buttons are pushed,
but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.


A Tire is Male, because it sometimes goes bald and it
can easily become over-inflated.


A Water Faucet
is Female, because it can turn hot or
cold in just a matter of moments.


A Safety Pin
is Male, because it is often useful in an emergency.

A Foreign Movie
is Female, because it is not always
completely understood.


A Hot Air Balloon is 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
are Female, because they're soft,
squeezable and retain water.


Matches
are Male, because scratching is important
to them.


A Web Page
is Female, because it's always getting
hit on.


A Subway
is Male, because it uses the same old
lines to pick women up.


An Hourglass
is Female, because over time, the
weight shifts to the bottom.


A Hammer
is Male because it hasn't changed much
over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.


A Remote Control
is Female. Ha! You thought it'd
be male, didn't you? 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!

Those are good! I think I'm going to print them and use them as a "fun" translation at school. A remote control actually is feminine in German (die Fernbedienung), but a copier is masculine. What happened to "neuter"?
