A man goes into the doctors he says ' doctor, doctor I feel like a dog' the doctor says 'sit on the couch I'll be with you in a minute' the man says 'I'm not allowed'.
We received this from the USA and it made us laugh!
ARE COMPUTERS MASCULINE OR FEMININE?
A language instructor was explaining to her class that, in French, nouns - unlike their English counterparts - are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
"house" is feminine. "pencil" is masculine.
One puzzled student asked: "What gender is computer"?
The teacher did not know, and the word was not in her French dictionary. So, for fun, she split the class into two groups, appropriately enough by gender, and asked them to decide whether computer should be masculine or feminine. Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender because:
- No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
- The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
- Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval.
- As soon as you make your commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay cheque on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine because
- In order to get their attention you have to turn them on.
- They have a lot of data but they are still clueless.
- They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
- When you finally commit to one, you find that if you'd waited a little longer, you could have had a better model!
The women won.
