Womens Logic

      A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
      English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
      "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 into two groups, male and female,
      and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be
      masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four
      reasons for its recommendation.
      The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the
      feminine gender ("la computadora") 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 long term memory for
      possible later revival, and
      4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
      spending half your pay check on accessories for it.

      THIS GETS BETTER
       The women's group however, concluded that computers should
      be masculine (el computador), because.
      1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
      2. They have a lot of data, but still can't think for themselves.
      3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
      they ARE the problem, and
      4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a
      little longer, you could have got a better model!
      THE WOMEN WON.
