Assigning a Gender to Everyday Objects...
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.
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.
SHOE: Male, because it is usually unpolished,
with its tongue hanging out.
ZIPLOC BAGS: Male, because they hold everything
in, but you can always see right through them.
WEB PAGE: Female, because it is always getting
hit on.
SUBWAY: Male, because it uses the same old lines
to pick people up.
HAMMER: Male, because it hasn't evolved much over
the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
