but a lot of non-living objects are actually male or female.  Here are some examples........

FREEZER BAGS:  They are male.....because they hold everything in but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS:  They are female....because once turned off it takes a while to warm them up again.

TYRES:  They are male.....because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS:  Also a male object....because to get them to go anywhere you have to light a fire under their arse.

SPONGES:  These are female.....because they are soft, squeezable and can contain water.

WEB PAGES:  Female.....because they are constantly been looked at and frequently hit on.

TRAINS:  Definitely male.....because they always use the same old lines to pick up people.

EGG TIMERS:  Egg timers are female.....because, over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMERS:  Male.....because in the last 5,000 years they've hardly changed at all and are occasionally handy to have around.

REMOTE CONTROL:   Ha, you thought it would be male, but consider this.....it easily gives a man pleasure and he would be lost without it, and while he doesn't know which buttons to push, he keeps trying.
