You may not know that many non-living things have a gender.
For example:
Freezer Bags - Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
Photocopiers - Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but they can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
Tyres - Male, because they go bald and they are often over-inflated.
Hot Air Balloons - Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's lots of hot air.
Sponges - Female because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
Web Pages - Female, because it's always getting hit on.
Railway Stations - Male, because they use the same old lines to pick people up.
Hourglass - Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
Hammer - Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's still handy to have around.
Remote Control - Female...... Ha! You thought it would be male, but consider this - They give a man pleasure, and he'd be lost without one. And while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
