    You May Not Know That Many Non-Living Things Have A Gender:

    For example...

    1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

    2) Copiers -- 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) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

    4) 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.

    5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.

    6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.

    7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

    8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

    9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

    10) 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.
