The Spanish Computer

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.


"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."


"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."


A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

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.

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
