Hello

I rarely read MASS EMAILS- but, Heather Foster has been sending me some good ones. Here is an example. Seriously- it is worth reading. It will make you smile.

Male or Female
You know how they say a boat is referred to as "She" and
classified as female? Everything in this world actually does have a gender,
and here are some of them:

ZIPLOC BAGS are male, because they hold everything in, but you
can always see right through them.

SHOES are male, because they are usually unpolished, with their
tongues hanging out.

PHOTOCOPIERS are female, because once turned off, they take a
while to warm up.

TIRES are male, because they sometimes go bald and are often
over-inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS are male, because to get them to go anywhere
you have to light a fire under them and, of course, there's the hot air
part.

SPONGES are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain
water.

THE 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.

HAMMERS are male, because they haven't evolved much over the
last 5,000 years, but they are handy to have around.

A REMOTE CONTROL is female ... Ha! You thought I'd say male. But
consider this: it gives men pleasure, they'd be lost without it, and
while they don't always know the right buttons to push, they keep on
trying.
