> 3) Tires -- are Male, because they go bald and are often

> 4) Hot Air Balloons -- are Male, because, to get them to go

> air part.
>
> 5) Sponges -- are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain
> water.
>
> 6) Web Pages -- are Female, because they're always getting hit on.
>
> 7) Subways -- are Male, because they use the same old lines to pick people
> up.
>
> 8) Hourglasses -- are Female, because over time, the weight
> > shifts to the bottom.
>
> 9) Hammers -- are Male, because they haven't changed much over the last
> 5,000 years, but are handy to have around.
>
> 10) Remote Controls -- are Female ... Ha! You thought they'd be male.
> However 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 on
