Le
Or La.....
A French teacher was explaining to her class that in French,
unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or
feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine -- "la
maison." "Pencil" , however, is masculine --
"le crayon."
A
student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead
of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups,
male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether
"computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each
group was asked 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 retrieval; and
4.
as soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(No
chuckling guys... this gets better!!!)
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; and
4.
as soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The
women won

Cannibals
A major corporation recently hired several cannibals. "You
are all part of our team now," said the hiring rep during the
welcoming briefing. "You get all the usual benefits and you
can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don't eat
any of the other employees."
The cannibals promised they would not. Four weeks later their boss
remarked, "You're all working very hard, and I'm satisfied
with you. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any
of you know what happened to her?"
The cannibals all shook their heads no.
After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the
others, "Which one of you idiots ate the secretary?" A
hand raised hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals
continued, "You fool! For four weeks we've been eating
Managers and no one noticed anything, but nooooo, you had to go
and eat someone they
would miss!"
