Male or Female?

You might not have known this...but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:





FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in....but you can see right through them.




PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off..it takes a while to warm them up again.
They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed...but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.




TYRES: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated




HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object... because to get them to go anywhere.....you have to light a fire under their butt.




SPONGES: These are female...because they are soft.......squeezable and retain water.




WEB PAGES:
Female...because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.




TRAINS: Definitely male... because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.




EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because...over time...all the weight shifts to the bottom.




HAMMERS: Male... because in the last 5000 years......they've hardly changed at all...and are occasionally handy to have around.




THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male...but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it...and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push...he just keeps trying

Very clever, Ann. I thought you were going to list things like machine parts and male and female connections!
