As there isn't alot going on the forum this afternoon, I read this and it certainly made me laugh! 

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


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

1) A woman is like a computer in that she costs more than you thought it would.

2) A woman resembles a personal computer in that she will not do exactly what you thought it will.

3) After a while, you simply cannot do without both: your computers and your woman.

4) Computers are just like women: after you have gotten used to them and cannot do without them, you discover that one is not enough.

5) Some computers, like some women, serve many people.

6) You can work miracles with both by gently using your fingers if you only know the proper code.

7) If you are inactive with them for more than fifteen minutes, they go off.

8) Just like a computer, the one who runs her has more privileges than just anyone else who is just running her.

9) When there are short-circuits of electricity, they shut you off and then you cannot always return to what was before the short-circuit.

10) Normally, they are available and receptive in the night, but it’s a lot better when they are available and receptive in the morning.

11) When you are, at last, sure that they will do what you wanted, they go off and do something else.

12) The only thing that you predict about the future with them is that they will react unpredictably.

13) Just like women, so too for computers: every year a new model is released that is younger, more advanced and gives a lot more.

14) A woman is just like a computer: you are happy with what you have but when you see what your friends have got, you are sure you want what they have.

15) Women are like computers in that no matter how much you improve and put into them, they only improve for a short time and then go back to their same old pace.

16) Women are like computers in that every day a new program comes out promising to revolutionize your knowledge and use of them, but after spending a lot more cash you realize that none of them work better than the old one you had before.

17) Women are like computers: you always want what others have and they want what you have but you cannot switch even for a trial basis.

18) Women are like computers in that when you get them you are sure that they are the best. But when the days go back, you wonder why you did not get them with a replacement note.
