Why are hurricanes always named after Women?

[RedDeadFred]

It because its a hurricane not a tornado. Thats how you tell its gender

Ok, most of the jokes so far I've heard before, but this seems genuinely original. Well done if that's the case!

oh well seems i was wrong.
where did i get that from ?

Years ago they WERE only named after women.

There's a good reason you thought that way... you were once right.

I'm kind of annoyed that not many remember Ike or Gustav, the hurricanes that flooded my house. And seriously, I thought everyone knew how hurricanes were named. Maybe, it's just people in areas effected by them that bother to learn.

Nope, just dumb luck that the three most notable from recent history (Katrina, Rita, and Irene) all happneed to be named after girls

Hurricane Ike was a big deal a few years back.





I think this thread's done by looking at the comments.

I disagree!
I haven't had anywhere near my fill of jokes yet.

That's right, i don't care about the actual answer, i'm just here for the amusement.
