From the Washington Post Style Invitation, in which it was postulated
that English should have male and female nouns. Readers were asked
to assign a gender to nouns of their choice, and explain their reasons.
The best submissions:

SWISS ARMY KNIFE - male. Even though it appears useful for a wide
variety
of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles.

KIDNEYS - female. They always go to the bathroom in pairs.

TIRE - male. It goes bald and often is over-inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOON - male. To get it to go anywhere, you have to light a
fire
under it. And, of course, there's the hot air part...

SPONGES - female. They are soft and squeezable, and they retain water.

WEB PAGE - female. It's always getting hit on.

SHOE - male. It's usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.

COPIER - female. Once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. It's an
effective reproductive device when the right buttons are pushed, and
it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.

ZIPLOC BAGS - male. They hold everything in, but you can always
see right through them.

SUBWAY - male. It uses the same old lines to pick up people.

HOURGLASS - female. Over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMER - male. It hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years,
but it's handy to have around.

REMOTE CONTROL - female. It gives man pleasure; he'd be lost without
it;
and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps
trying.
