MANY N0N-LIVING THINGS  HAVE A GENDER

A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.

A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

A Hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'd be Male, didn't you? But consider this: It gives a man
pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying!
