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.
Ziploc Bags
Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right through 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, 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 does keep trying.
