vikkii123 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 From the Washington Post Style Invitation, in which it was postulated that English should have male and female nouns, and readers were asked to assign a gender to a noun of their choice and explain their reason. The best submissions:ZIPLOC BAGS - male, because they hold everything in, but you can always see right through them.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.KIDNEYS - female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.SHOE - male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.COPIER - female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. Because it is an effective reproductive device when the right buttons are pushed. Because it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.TIRE - male, because it goes bald and often is 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 are soft and squeezable and retain water.WEB PAGE - female, because it is 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 I'd say male. But consider, it gives man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.

vikkii123 Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 The following ad is reported to have gotten numerous calls...SINGLE BLACK FEMALE... Seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a svelte good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping, and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call xxx-xxxx and ask for Daisy."''''''''''''Callers found themselves talking to the local Humane Society about an eight-week-old black Lab :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
