Everything has a gender

I received this and the "Can you raed?" post by e-mail from Charl Naudé.

You may not know this, but many non-living things have a gender...

Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
Copiers 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 arepushed.
A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
A Hot Air Balloon is 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 are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.
A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick peopleup.
An Hourglass is Female, because over time the weight shifts to the bottom.
A hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years but it's handy to have around.
A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male, didn't you? 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!
