A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish nouns are designated as either feminine or masculine.
"House for instance is feminine: la casa.
Pencil however is masculine: el lapiz".

A student asked "what gender is computer?"
Instead of giving the answer the teacher split the class up into two groups, male and female and asked them to decide for themselves.

The men's group decided that it should be feminine because:
1. No one but their creator understands their logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval, and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay on accessories for it!

The woman's group however decided that computer should be masculine because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on first.
2. They have a lot of data but still cant think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve the problem, but half the time they are the problem, and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you realize that if you had of waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model!
