LOL

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlikeEnglish, 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, th eteacher split the class into two groups to decide for themselves whether
"computer" should be a 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 retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find
yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.

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 realize that if
you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.
As always!
