What Gender Are The Following Objects?

Ziploc bags – Male
They hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
Copiers – Female
Once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again.
It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed,
but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

Tires – Male
They go bald and are often over-inflated.

Hot Air Balloon – Male
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
They're soft, squeezable and retain water.
Web Pages – Female
They are always getting hit on.

Subway – Male
Always uses the same old lines to pick people up.

Hourglass – Female
Over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

Hammer – Male
Hasn't changed much in 5,000 years, but is still handy to have around.

Remote Control Female
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.
