The inanimate objects that act like our husbands or wives

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.
