... My good friend Kimberly emailed this to me this morning and I thought it was too good to not share. I usually hate these kinds of emails because it requires me to actually do some reading and paying attention - two things that have been extremely difficult for me to master. But, here goes.
You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender. And here's a list of such things:
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. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed
A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated
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
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 people 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!
