This was in my e-mail and thought I'd see how many more you all could come up with.

What gender are they???

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 alwayssee
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.
Because it is an effective reproductive device when
the right buttons are pushed.
Because it 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... Ha! You thought I'd say
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.

 

They were good, I appreciate the humour.
