You might not have known this, but many 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.
Photocopiers:
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 wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.
Tyres:
Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often overinflated.
Hot air balloons:
Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt.
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.
Egg timers:
Egg timers are 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.
