An English teacher was explaining to his students the concept of gender association in the ENglish language when one student asked : 'What gender is a computer ?'
The teacher was not certain. So she divided the class into males and females and asked them to decide if a computer was masculine or feminine.
The women comcluded that computers should be masculine because :
1. To get their attention, you have to turn them on,
2.They have a lot of data, but are clueless
3.They supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
4.As soon as you commit to one, you realise that, had you waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand, decided computers should definitely be female as :
1.No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2.The language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3.Even your smallest mistakes are stored in longterm memory for later referal.
4.As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheque on accessories for it.
Just read it in the paper and wanted to share it
