through them.

male, because even though it appears useful for a wide variety of work, 
it spends most of its time just opening bottles.

KIDNEYS
female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.

SHOE
male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out.

COPIER
female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up.

TIRE

HOT AIR BALLOON

HAMMER
male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years, but it's 
handy to have around.

REMOTE CONTROL
female... Ha! You thought I'd say male. But consider, it gives men 
pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the 
right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
