The pilot was sitting in his seat and pulled out a .38 revolver. He placed it on top of the instrument panel, and then asked the navigator, "Do you know what I use this for?"

The navigator replied timidly, "No, what's it for?"

The pilot responded, "I use this on navigators who get me lost!"

The navigator proceeded to pull out a .45 and place it on his chart table.

The pilot asked, "What's that for?"

"To be honest sir," the navigator replied, "I'll know we're lost before you will."

Are Computers Male or Female?

A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

"House" in French, is feminine -"la maison," "Pencil" in French, is masculine "le crayon."

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 a masculine or a feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), 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 review

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine "le computer") 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

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model.

[DeZmond]

Sorry, I couldn't resist. My comedy must be heard! To the microphone!

 

[Piacular]

Those are pretty good T-Bone .

I always thought "le" was feminine and "la" was masculine...

If it isn't that way, it should be!

Le is a wimpy sounding word (not to say ladies are wimpy, keep reading!), a bit like meh. Whereas la, "LLLLLAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!", is much more full-bodied and shoutable, far more masculine.

 

[Birdy]

RIGHHHHHHHHHHHT you have really thought about this havent you!

 

[BiG D]

I always thought "le" was feminine and "la" was masculine...

Really? I think it makes more sense the other way around, it just seems right.

Of course, I'm likely the only one here who had nine years worth of mandatory French classes... :s
