Male vs Female?
Readers of the Washington Post were asked to assign a gender to nouns of their
choice and explain their reason.
1. 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.
2. KIDNEYS - female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.
3. TIRE - male, because it goes bald and often is over-inflated.
4. 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.
5. SPONGES - female, because they are soft and squeezable and retain water.
6.
WEB PAGE - female, because it is always getting hit on.
7. SHOE - male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.
8. COPIER - female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. Because it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.
9. ZIP-LOC BAGS - male, because they hold everything in, but you can always see right through them.
10. SUBWAY - male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
11. HOURGLASS - female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
12. HAMMER - male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
13. 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.
Men and Women ~ God made men and women to complement each other with the unique traits each were given:
Women:
Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships,
they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love, and joy.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy, and laugh when they are nervous.
Women wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend, after a snowy drive home.
They are child care workers, executives, attorneys, stay-at-home moms, biker babes, and your neighbors. They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms.
They fight for what they believe in. They stand up against injustice. They walk and talk the extra mile to get their kids into the right schools and to get their family the right health care.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart--they know that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.
Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves.
Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable!
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in houses, apartments, and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends.
And
all they want in return is a hug, a smile, and for you to do the same for people
you come in contact with.
Men:
Men are good at lifting heavy shit.
