A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns unlike thier English counterparts are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

la maison- feminine
le maison- masculine

One student asked what gender is a computer?

The teacher did not know and the word wasn't in her dictionary so she split the class into two groups according to gender to decide on what gender computer would be

The men's group decided that computer should be feminine because:
1. No one understands their internal logic except their creator
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retriviel
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you spend half your paycheck on accesories for it

The women's group decided that computer should be masculine because-
1. In order to get their attention, u have to turn them on
2. They have alot of data but are still clueless
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but HALF the time they are the problem
4. As soon as you cmmit to one, you realise that if u had waited a litte longer YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN A BETTER MODEL
