I don't know if the story below is applicable on our beloved r65s - judge for yourselves:
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'?'
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 its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the
feminine gender ('la computadora'), 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.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
Masculine ('el computador'), 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.

Why bikes are better than Women...
Bikes don't get pregnant.
You can ride your Bike any time of the month.
Bikes don't have parents.
Bikes don't whine unless something is really wrong.
You can share your Bike with your friends.
Bikes don't care how many other Bikes you've ridden.
When riding, you and your Bike can arrive at the same time.
Bikes don't care how many other Bikes you have.
Bikles don't care if you look at other Bikes.
Bikes don't care if you buy Bike magazines.
You'll never hear, "Surprise, you are going to own a new Bike" unless you go out to buy one yourself.
If your Bike goes flat you can fix it.
If your Bike is too loose you can tighten it.
If your Bike is misaligned, you don't have to discuss politics with it.
You don't have to be jealous of the guy who works on your Bike.
If you say bad things to your Bike, you don't have to apologize before you ride it again.
You can ride your Bike as long as you want and it won't get sore.
You can stop riding your Bike as soon as you want and it won't get frustrated.
Your parents won't remain in touch with your old bike after you dump it.
Bikes don't get headaches.
Bikes don't insult you if you're a bad rider.
Your Bike never wants a night out with the other Bikes.
Bikes don't care if you're late.

"You don't have to be jealous of the guy who works on your Bike. "
I almost want to kill him. OK, maybe I have issues.... Luckily I just take parts off and carry them to a machinist who does work I can't (yet!) do in my shop. But it bugs me.

My wife loved the first joke (the spanish language one) - I don't know if I dare show her the other one...
