wyrdreddragonIf 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. For example:
1. Ziplock Bags - Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right through them.
2. Copiers - Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up. Effective reproductive devices if the right buttons are pushed, can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3. Tyres - Male, because they tend to go bald and are often over inflated.
4. Hot Air Balloons - Male, because to get them to go anywhere you have to light a fire under them,[ and of course, there's the hot air part].
5. Sponges - Female, because they're soft and squeezable and retain water.
6. Web Pages - Female, because they get hit on so often.
7. Trains and Trams - Male, because they use the same old lines to pick people up.
8. Hourglasses - Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
9. Hammers - Male. Haven't evolved much but handy to have around.
10. Remote Controls - Female . . . [Ha! You thought they'd be Male???]. But consider this -- they give a man so much pleasure, he'd be lost without them, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push,at least he keeps trying!!
So, there's a list of ten...I'm sure there must be many more!!
