Ever notice that some of the machines we use have some very human functions? For example, computers can sleep and cars can panic.

Any others?

You know, when the car alarm is set off, or when you press the "Panic" button on your remote control.

When you do that in the Czech Republic, doesn't it call a politician?

Speaking of appliances, my kitchen stove emits gas, and my refrigerator's frigid - sort of like some relationships I've known of. Also, my word processor has been fraternizing with my food processor, which accounts for all the alphabet soup I've written. Also, is the garment presser's union governed by an ironing board?

The fan blows hot air, the air conditioner is really cool and the scanner is a real "looker!"

My answering machine is a quick talker, my picture frame is a square, and my kleenex tissue is a softy but quickly turns into a slimeball if you even breath in his direction.

The rumour persists that the day Microsoft release a product that doesn't suck it'll be a vacuum cleaner...
