Computer

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 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.

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

The women won.
Send this to all the smart women you know...
and all the men that have a sense of humor .
