Inanimate Objects

At work today the buzzer for the grilled onions went off, when I was really busy, and I couldnt get to it for a while, and it was becoming annoying, so when I finally turned it off I tell it to be quiet. Norm (my boss) hearing this says "Talking to the buzzer huh?" I reply: "Ya I must be going crazy I guess." Then he says: "Naw people talk to inanimate objects all the time like buzzers, timers, and sometimes even Skippy." I busted out laughing because Skippy sometimes seems like an imanimate object. He is so quiet, and sneeks up on you, and always has this bored look in his eyes. But sometimes he comes to life, like when he is poking people, or sneaking up on them, this mischevious fire lights up his eyes. Hes pretty cool tho. Anyway, I thought it was hilarious.
