r c ole Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Following is a list of normal, everday items. If they had genders, what would they be? Ziploc Bags -- Male, because they hold everything in but you can see right through them. Copier -- Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed. Tyre -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over inflated. 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're soft and squeezable and retain water. Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on. Subway -- Male, because it uses 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 evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around. Remote Control -- Female ... Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider: 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. 195BHP Dry Sumped K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbarella Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Slight hi-jacking of thread, but does anyone else give things around the house and garden/garage names? Our tin-tops are Injun and Moo because the registrations are sort of like the names. Mobiles are Wallace and Batphone, the garden shredder is Minnie the Muncher and the microwave is Homer (because we 'nuke' things in it). Stops you saying 'I've lost the thingy' and your other 'arf wondering what particular thingy you are talking about. Lots more, but won't go on. Not for now anyhow. Tea and toast has arrived.

Meldrew Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I have a friend whose domestic appliances all used to have names, carefully written on each one. Very odd. That said, the family sprogvolvopanzer is called "Sven the Socially Responsible" and the Impreza is called "The Lollipop Car" (the latter after my then-two year old son realised it was the same colour as a lolly he'd been given at the barbers for keeping still).
