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.

I bet the girls won.They are s-o-o-o-o right(especially about finding a better model after committing to anoda).But then the irony is,they all assume the same profile soon enough.life is unfair to the ladies jo.

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

yes this is true

the girls won
