Forum / FunnyHub (Jokes + Comedy) / COMPUTA MALE OR FEMALE |
on: 16-04-2009 01:38 AM
| A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. Things like "chalk" or "pencil", she explained, have a gender association although in English, these words were of a neutral gender. Puzzled, one student raised his hand and asked, "What gender is a computer?"
The instructor wasn't certain which it was, and so divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide whether a computer should be masculine or feminine. One group was composed of the women in the class and the other of the men. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve your problem, but half of the time, they ARE the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model
The men on the other hand decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine gender 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 your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for future retrieval. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck for accessories for it. | | |

| THIS IS TO ALL THE NAIJAS IN THE HOUSE...
"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your captain (Sunky Onoja) welcoming you on board of Nigeria Airways. We apologize for the four-day delay in taking off, it was due to bad weather and some overtime I had to put in at the bakery.
This is flight 126 to Lagos.
Landing in Lagos is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in the South.
If luck is in our favour, we may even be landing on your village!
Nigeria Airways has an excellent safety-record.
In fact our safety standards are so high that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us!
It is with pleasure, I announce that starting this year over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination.
If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off!
To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve complimentary Bongo tea and Okin biscuits!
For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television.
But for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Air Barka, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.
There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only the early morning warning system on the engines telling us to slow down!
In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little too close, do let us know.
Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your set-belt. For those of you who can't find a seat-belt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat ... and for those of you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase."
Have a pleasant flight!!
