A teacher was disussing gender in a French class. “The house is LA maison, the pencil is LE crayon.” “What about ‘computer’ ?” a kid asked. She wasn’t sure and so she asked the boys and girls to group respectively and come up with what they thought it should logically be.
The boys said that clearly it should be feminine because :
•Only their creator understands their logic.
•The language used to communicate between them is incomprehensible to others.
•Even the slightest errors are stored to be retrieved at a future date.
•Once you invest in them, half your income goes on accessories.
The girls on the other hand considered them to masculine :
•To get anything out of them you have to turn them on.
•They store a lot of data but that doesn’t make them intelligent.
•They are supposed to help you solve problems; they ARE however normally the problem.
•Once you commit to one, they bring out a better model.
