Gender of things

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 ) 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.

  • Getting a chana meal from Brendan’s. Yumm. #
  • Tamil protesters are making me very angry. Was sympathetic earlier but now not so much. Want them arrested for the illegal acts. #toronto #
  • At #Microsoft for a meeting. Feel a bit like I’m Han Solo inside the Death Star. Help me Steve Jobs, you’re my only hope… #
  • 30 minutes of trailers before a movie. AND we paid $12.50 per ticket to watch ads. Grrrrrrr. #frustrating #
  • Just watched #Angels and Demons, very good and left out the major flaw in the book. #
  • To be clear the reason people don’t like going to #cineplex is the 20 min of fraking commercials. A 7pm show should start at 7. #
  • No wonder #HBC is failing. Customer service is crap. Went to 3 counters to pay for something. Then had to fight for the posted sale price. #
