Male or female!

You may not know that many non-living items are actually male or female,
for example:

  1. Freezer Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right through them.
  2. Photocopiers -- 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. Tyres -- Male, because they 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, squeezable and retain water.
  6. Web Pages -- Female, because they're always getting hit on.
  7. Trains -- Male, because they use the same old lines to pick people up.
  8. Egg Timers -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
  9. Hammers -- Male, because they haven't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but are handy to have around.
  10. The 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.
