Subject: FW: Male & Female...
This is cute and true!!!
Subject: Male & Female...
From the Washington Post Style Invitation, in which it
was postulated that English should have male and
female nouns, and readers were asked to assign a
gender to a noun of their choice and explain their
reason. The best submissions:
ZIPLOC BAGS - male, because they hold everything in,
but you can always see right through them.
SWISS ARMY KNIFE - male, because even though it
appears useful for a wide variety of work, it spends
most of its time just opening bottles.
KIDNEYS - female, because they always go to the
bathroom in pairs.
SHOE - male, because it is usually unpolished, with
its tongue hanging out.
COPIER - female, because once turned off, it takes a
while to warm up..... it is an effective reproductive
device when the right buttons are pushed, but can
wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.
TIRE - male, because it goes bald and often is 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 are soft and squeezable
and retain water.
WEB PAGE - female, because it is 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... You thought it would be
male. But consider, it gives man pleasure, he'd be
lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the
right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
