Gender typing everyday items

Everything has a gender, but what? If you are like most people, common everyday items look inert; what you may not know is that many of them actually have a gender. For example:

ZIPLOC BAGS: Male. They hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIER: Female. Once turned off, it takes a while to warm them back up. It is an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if wrong buttons get pushed.

TIRES: Male. It goes bald and often is over inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS: Male. To get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it . . . and, of course, there is the part about being full of hot air.

SPONGES: Female. They are soft and squeezable -- and retain water.

WEB PAGES: Female. They are always getting hit on.

SUBWAYS: Male. Uses the same old lines to pick up people everyday.

HOURGLASS: Female. Over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMERS: Male. It hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it is handy to have around.

REMOTE CONTROL: Female. (Ha! I bet you thought it would be male, right?) But considering that it gives a man pleasure and he would be lost without it. Also, while he doesn't always know the correct buttons to push, he keeps on trying until he gets it right.
