In Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine, a class of students was asked if they thought a computer was masculine or feminine.
The mens group decided computers were feminine because
1 No one but their creator understands their internal logic
2 The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3 Even the smallest mistakes are stored in the long-term memory for possible use later.
4 As soon as you commit to one you spend half your money buying accessories for it.
the womens group decided computers were male because
1 In order to do anything with them you have to turn them on
2 They have lots of data but cannot think for themselves
3 they are supposed to solve problems but usually ARE the problem
4 As soon as you commit to one you realise that had you waited you could have found a much better model.
THE WOMEN won

Crafts are here
Crafts are here, crafts are there,
My craft supplies are everywhere.
I really should clean this mess,
but I like it I confess.
Floor is littered, chairs are piled,
Kitchen's looking pretty wild.
On the table, counter too,
Seems that any place will do.
Hall is stacked with cartons high,
filled with things folks like to buy.
Garage is full, but so far....
there's still room to park the car.
I never have an idle day,
New ideas come my way.
Don't know yet what I'll create,
but my imagination's great.
My family smiles, they don't complain,
although at times I am a pain.
but when all is said and done,
I really am a crafty one!
