Ask it to add up the price of :

A box of special K cereals
A loaf of 50/50 bread
500g of Sunflower spread
A jar of Marmite

If it can work out the answer it is female, if it says "ask the cook" its male.

Did you know adders need logs to multiply?


If you don’t know why, ask a maths teacher.

Dowdy females and flashy males....bit different with we humans.
Appreciate the humour in two of the replies.

Still not sure but I'll go with it being a he. I came across him at the confluence of the River Freshie and Eidart in the western Cairgorms. It had been a warm day but turned cold in the evening, I think he'd been caught out as he was very slougish.

Or an older person.

Unfortunately I am old enough to get the joke. Mediaeval torture as I recall.

The ark lands after The Flood.  
Noah lets all the animals out. Says, "Go forth and multiply." Several months pass. Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes.  

 

"What's the problem?" says Noah. "Cut down some trees and let us live there," say the snakes. Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass.  
Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?" "Certainly," say the snakes. "We're adders, and we need logs to multiply."
