Male or Female? You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:
 
FREEZER BAGS
 They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
 
PHOTOCOPIERS1
 These are 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 can also wreak3 havoc4 if you push the wrong buttons.
 
TIRES
 Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated5.
 
HOT AIR BALLOONS
 Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt2.
 
SPONGES
 These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.
 
WEB PAGES
 Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.
 
TRAINS
 Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.
 
HOURGLASS
 An hourglass is female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.
 
HAMMERS
 Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.
 
THE REMOTE CONTROL
 Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying
