The priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the chickens he kept in the hen house out back of the parish rectory. He had a cock rooster and about ten hens. One Saturday night the cock rooster went missing and as that was the time he suspected cock fights occurred in the village he decided to do something about it at church the very next morning.
At Mass, he asked the congregation, "Has anybody got a cock?"   -- all the men stood up.
"No, No," he said, "that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a cock?"   -- all the women stood up.

Things that really irritate DOGS
1.  When you run away in the middle of a perfectly good leg humping.
2.  Blaming your farts on me...not funny.
3.  Yelling at me for barking... I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!!
4.  How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat butt?)
5.  Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway?
6.  Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it.
7.  Yelling at me for rubbing my ass on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet?
8.  Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
9.  How you act disgusted when I lick myself.  Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.
10.  Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur?
11.  Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons.  Now you know why we chew your shit up when you're not home.
12.  Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out everytime we go back.
13.  The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw.  You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain,you nitwit.
14.  Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with us?   To my knowledge, dogdom hasn't yet solved the visible fence problem!!

TO CRACKPOTS EVERYWHERE

A short story, just in case any of you were feeling a little imperfect.

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.  One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the  cracked pot arrived only half full.  For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made.  But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half what it had been made to do.

After 2 yrs of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load  because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.  Because of my  flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?  That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them.   For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.  Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

One hot July day, we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight, starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny and hair all matted down.  We felt sorry for her, so we put her in a carrier and took her to the vet.  She had no name, so we named her "Pussy Cat". The vet said he needed to keep her for a day or so, and said he would let us know when we could come and pick her up.

My husband, the complaining type, said, "OK, but don't forget to wash her. She stinks." Now understand my husband and the vet don't see eye to eye. He calls my hubby "El-Cheap-O", and my hubby calls him "El-Take-O". The next day my hubby had an appointment with his doctor, whose office is next-door to the vet's, in a strip mall. The doctor's office was full of people waiting to see the doctor.

The door opened and in popped the vet, announcing loudly to my hubby, "Your wife's pussy is finally shaved and clean. She now smells like a rose and, by the way, I think she's pregnant. God only knows who the father is!" He then closed the door.

One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT??" So she says the words that I and every husband on the planet dread. She explains that I must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a Woman. I'm thinking, "What was her first clue?" I finally realize that nothing is going to happen that night, so I went to sleep.

The very next day we went shopping at a big unnamed department store... I walked around while she tried on three very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her to take all three of them.

She then tells me that she wants matching shoes worth $200 each to which I say OK. And then we go to the Jewelry Dept. where she gets a set of diamond earrings. Let me tell you ...she was so excited. She must have thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck, but I don't think she cared. I think she was testing me when she asked for a tennis bracelet because she doesn't even play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I told her that it was OK to buy it.  She was almost sexually excited from all of this and you should have seen her face when she said, "I'm ready to go, let's go to the cash register."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No, honey. I don't feel like buying all this stuff now." You should have seen her face ... it went completely blank. I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "You must not be in tune with my financial needs as a Man."

I figure that I should be having sex again sometime during the spring thaw.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
1) 532.35 cm3 gluten
2) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3) 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5) 177.45 cm3 crystaline C12H22O11
6) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8) Two calcium carbonate encapsulated avian albumin coated protien
9) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 BTU/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radical flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six and seven until the mixture is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredients nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 X 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnson's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown.

Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

A woman recently lost her husband. Their marriage had been a very lousy one, and she was relieved that he was finally gone. She had him cremated and brought his ashes home.

Picking up the urn that he was in, she poured him out on the counter. Then she started talking to him, "You know that fur coat you promised me?" She answered by saying, "I bought it with the insurance money!" She then said, "Remember that new car you promised me?" She answered again saying, "Well, I bought it with the insurance money!"

Bending down low she said, "Remember that blow job I promised you? Well.... here it comes..."

A man walks into an antique store and begins browsing through the merchandise.  A small bronze sculpture of a rat catches his eye.  For some reason, this curio fascinates him and he decides that he has to have it, so he picks it up and walks over to the proprietor. "How much for this?", he asks. "I'd think twice about getting that if I were you.  Everyone who's bought it before has come back the next day to return it," says the proprietor.

"Why?" "I don't know, but they seem to be in an awful hurry to get rid of it." The customer thinks this over and finally decides to purchase the item.  He walks out of the store and begins to make his way home. As he is walking down a dark alley, he hears a scuttling noise behind him. Quickly turning around, he sees two rats following him down the path. "That's odd", he thinks to himself and begins to walk faster. A few minutes later, he turns around again and this time there are 3 dozen rats following him!  He begins to break into a trot.  Next time he turns around, there are 200 rats!  Now he's running as fast as he can. After a couple of minutes, he can't stand the suspense any longer and looks over his shoulder.  Thousands of rats, as far as the eye can see, are marching behind him!

Now he begins to panic.  He looks at the figurine in his hand and it dawns on him what's going on.  He changes direction and begins to make his way to the waterfront.  When he reaches the harbor, he takes the figure and hurls it into the water.  Thousands of rats dive into the water after it and drown!

The next day, the man returns to the antique shop.  The owner is shocked to see him empty-handed.  "You didn't bring it back?" he asks. "No, I've just one question, Do you have one which is shaped like a lawyer?"

Let's see how smart you are!

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.  Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Answers to the questions...

Gary and Martin were standing at the urinals in a public lavatory, when Gary glanced over and noticed that Martin's penis was twisted like a corkscrew.  "Wow," Gary said. "I've never seen one like that before."  "Like what?" Martin said.  "All twisted like a pig's tail," Gary said.  "Well, what's yours like?" Martin said. "Straight, like normal," Gary said. "I thought mine was normal until I saw yours," Martin said. Gary finished what he was doing and started to give his old boy a shakedown prior to putting it back in his pants. "What did you do that for?" Martin said. "Shaking off the excess drops," Gary said. "Like normal."  "Damn!," Martin said. "And all these years I've been wringing it."

Bob, a middle-aged Canadian tourist on his first time in Lincoln, Nebraska, locates the red light district and enters a large brothel.
The madam asks him to be seated and sends over a young lady to entertain the client. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she gasps and runs away!
Seeing this, the madam sends over a more experienced lady to entertain the gentleman. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she screams, No!" and walks quickly away!
The madam is surprised that this ordinary-looking man has asked for something so outrageous that her two girls will have nothing to do with it.
She decides that only her most experienced lady, Lola, will do. Lola looks a bit tired, but she has never said no and it doesn't seem likely that anything would surprise her.  So the madam sends her over to Bob. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she screams, "NO WAY, BUDDY!", smacks him as hard as she can and literally runs away!
Madam is by now absolutely intrigued, having seen nothing like this in all her years of operating a brothel. She hasn't done the bedroom work herself for a long time, but she did it for many years before she got into management. She's sure she has said yes at one time or another to everything a man could possibly ask for. The challenge is irresistible.
She just has to find out what this man has wanted that has made her girls so angry. And she sees a chance she can't pass up to show off to her employees how good she was at what they do.
So she goes over to Bob and says that she's the best in the house and she is available. She sits and talks with him. They frolic a bit, giggle a bit, drink a little, and she sits in his lap. And Bob leans forward and whispers in her ear, "Can I pay in Canadian dollars?"

Years ago there was a baker's assistant whose sole job was to pour the dough mixture for making sausage rolls (apparently the royal family loved sausage). Because people were identified by their professions, he was just called Richard the Pourer.  One day Richard ran out of some key ingredients, namely a secret spice he used in the batter. He called his apprentice and sent him to the store to buy more spices. When the apprentice arrived at the store, he found that he had forgotten the name of the ingredient. Hoping that the storekeeper might be able to figure it out, he described it to him, "it's for Richard the Pourer for batter for wurst."

A man was helping one of his cows give birth, when he noticed his 4-year-old son standing wide-eyed at the fence, soaking in the whole event.  The man thought, "Great...he's 4 and I'm gonna have to start explaining the birds and bees.  No need to jump the gun, I'll just let him ask, and I'll answer."

After everything was over, the man walked over to his son and said,  "Well son, do you have any questions?"

"Just one." gasped the still wide-eyed lad. "How fast was that calf going when he hit that cow?"

At a golf course, four men approached the sixteenth tee. The straight fairway ran along a road and bike path fenced off on the left.

The first golfer teed off and hooked the ball in that direction.  But the ball went over the fence and bounced off the bike path onto the road, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and was knocked back on to the fairway.

As they all stood in silent amazement, one man finally asked him, "How on earth did you do that?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have to know the bus schedule."

Bentonville, ARK (AP) - Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item - - Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif., to produce the spirits at an affordable price; in the $6-8 range.

She said: "The right name is important."
So, with that in mind, here are the top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:

To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

I hope if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they don't just go by size because I bet there are some chihuahuas with some good ideas.

If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world because they'd never expect it.

I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain because later, you might think you're having a good idea but it's really just the eggs hatching.

Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.

A Belgian woman being plagued by nuisance phone calls discovered the culprit was a dairy cow. The farmer had rigged up the animal's milking machine to call a mobile phone if it malfunctioned. But he accidentally programmed in Caroline Lenaerts' phone number. Caroline, 26, from Ravels, told the Het Laatste Nieuws she received strange calls for two weeks until the mystery was solved. "I could only a hear a signal, no voice. It was no pleasure at all. Once it woke me at half past four in the morning," she said. The paper says the telephone company eventually traced the calls to the farmer in Poppel who told them about his alarm system.

While a friend and I were visiting Annapolis, we noticed several students on their hands and knees assessing the courtyard with pencils and clipboards in hand.

"What are they doing?" I asked our tour guide.

"Each year," he replied with a grin, "The upperclassmen ask the freshmen how many bricks it took to finish paving this courtyard."

When we were out of earshot of the freshmen, my friend asked our guide: "So what's the answer?"

The guide replied: "One."

When I got up this morning, I took two Ex-lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.

I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Yes, I seem to have contracted some temporary attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Leafs, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Direct TV, but thank you for calling.

Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.

The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any.... True story... a female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked "So Ken, where's that 7 inches you promised me last night?"

A husband and wife were involved in a petty argument, both of them unwilling to admit they might be in error.
"I'll admit I'm wrong," the wife told her husband in a conciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right."
He agreed and, like a gentleman, insisted she go first.
"I'm wrong," she said. With a twinkle in his eye, he responded, "You're right!"

Getting away from their high-stress jobs, a couple spends relaxing weekends in their motor home.  When they found their peace and quiet disturbed by well-meaning, but unwelcome, visits from other campers, they devised a plan to assure themselves some privacy.

Now, when they set up camp, they place this sign on the door of their RV: "Insurance agent.  Ask about our term-life package."

My old uncles Epheus and Cepheus were out driving in a their '59 Edsel.  As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through.  Epheus in the passenger seat thought to himself "I must be losing it; I could have sworn we just went through a red light,"

After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red again and again they went right through.  This time Epheus was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that he was losing it. He was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to see what was going on.

At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through and he turned to my other uncle and said, "Cepheus! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row! You could have killed us!"

Cepheus turned to him and said, "Oh, am I driving?"

The club duffer challenged the local golf pro to a match, with a $100 bet on the side. "But," said the duffer, "since you're obviously much better than I, to even it a bit you have to spot me two 'gotchas'."

The golf pro didn't know what a 'gotcha' was, but he went along with it. And off they went. Coming back to the 19th hole, the rest of the club members were amazed to see the golf pro paying the duffer $100.

"What happened?" asked one of the members.

"Well," said the pro, "I was teeing up for the first hole, and as I brought the club down, that jerk stuck his hand between my legs and grabbed my jewels, then yelled 'Gotcha!' Have you ever tried to play 18 holes of golf waiting for the second 'gotcha'?"

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats,and that's it, don't piss them away on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

A blonde wanted to learn how to sky dive. She got an instructor and started lessons. The instructor told the blonde to jump out of the plane and pull her rip cord. The instructor then explained that he himself would jump out right behind her so that they would go down together. The blonde understood and was ready.

The time came to have the blonde to jump from the air plane. The instructor reminded her that he would be right behind her. The blonde proceeded to jump from the plane and after being in the air for a few seconds pulled the rip cord. The instructor followed by jumping from the plane. The instructor pulled his rip cord but the parachute did not open. The instructor, frantically trying to get his parachute open, darted past the blonde.

The blonde seeing this yelled, as she undid the straps to her parachute, "So you wanna race, eh?"

"I can't give you the day off."  "Thanks, boss," says Smith "I knew I could count on you!"

A Nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery.  When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

In the beginning was The Plan.

And the Workers spoke among themselves, saying, "It's a crock of shit, and it stinks."
And the Workers went to their Supervisors and said, "It's a pail of dung, and we can't live with the smell."
And the Supervisors went to their Managers, saying, "It's a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went to their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide by its strength."
And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth, and is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, and said unto him, "This new Plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with powerful effects."
And the President looked upon The Plan and saw that it was good. And The Plan became Policy.
And that is how shit happens.

THE OUTHOUSE POEM
The service station trade was slow The owner sat around, With sharpened knife and cedar stick Piled shavings on the ground.
No modern facilities had they, The log across the rill Led to a shack, marked His and Hers That sat against the hill.
"Where is the ladies restroom, sir?" The owner leaning back, Said not a word but whittled on, And nodded toward the shack.
With quickened step she entered there But only stayed a minute, Until she screamed, just like a snake Or spider might be in it.
With startled look and beet red face She bounded through the door, And headed quickly for the car Just like three gals before.
She missed the foot log - jumped the stream The owner gave a shout, As her silk stockings, down at her knees Caught on a sassafras sprout.
She tripped and fell - got up, and then In obvious disgust, Ran to the car, stepped on the gas, And faded in the dust.
Of course we all desired to know What made the gals all do The things they did, and then we found The whittling owner knew.
A speaking system he'd devised To make the thing complete, He tied a speaker on the wall Beneath the toilet seat.
He'd wait until the gals got set And then the devilish tike, Would stop his whittling long enough, To speak into the mike.
And as she sat, a voice below Struck terror, fright and fear, "Will you please use the other hole, We're painting under here!"

A wealthy contractor liked to know something about all the employees who worked for him.
One day he came upon a young man who was expertly counting out a large wad of the firm's cash.
The contractor asked the man, "Where did you get your financial training, young man?"
"Yale," the man answered.
"That's good," said the contractor, who was an advocate of higher learning.
"What's your name?" he asked. And the man answered, "Yackson."

If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
Men are from earth.  Women are from earth.  Deal with it.

Last week my wife and I purchased a new computer. We ran into some  difficulties while setting it up so we decided to call the customer support  phone number we found in the manual.
 
I picked up the phone and called the number. A man answered the phone and I  explained the problem to him.
 
He began rattling off computer jargon. This confused us even more.
 
"Sir," I said politely, "Can you explain what I should do as if I were a  small child?"
 
"Okay," the computer support guy said, "Son, could you please put your mommy  on the phone?"

A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus  five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is  nine...."
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?"
The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom."
"And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.  "Yes," he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you  teaching my son in math?"
The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."
The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two that son of a bitch is four?"
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."

From the Washington Post Style Invitation, in which it was postulated that English should have male and female nouns, and readers were asked to assign  a gender to nouns of their choice and explain their reason.
 
The best submissions:
 
SWISS ARMY KNIFE: Male, because even though it appears useful for a wide  variety of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles.
 
KIDNEYS: Female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.
 
TIRE: Male, because it goes bald and often is over-inflated.
 
HOT AIR BALLOON: Male, because to get it to go anywhere you have to light a  fire under it... and, of course, there's the hot air part.
 
SPONGES: Female, because they are soft and squeezable and retain water.
 
WEB PAGE: Female, because it is always getting hit on.
 
SHOE: Male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.
 
COPIER: Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up.  Because it is an effective reproductive device when the right buttons are  pushed. Because it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.
 
ZIPLOC BAGS: Male, because they hold everything in, but you can always see  right through them.
 
SUBWAY: Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
 
HOURGLASS: Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
 
HAMMER: Male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but  it's handy to have around.
 
REMOTE CONTROL: Female...Ha!...you thought I'd say male. But consider, it  gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always  know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
