You can carry anthropomorphism just so far before it becomes laughable ...

To one of our cars the sight of a person approaching with multimeter and sharp probes in hand ... must be just as unsettling as a nurse is to me when approaching with a huge syringe full of Rocephin or gamma globulin and a 1" needle! The nurse can whisper all she likes ... but it isn't going to reassure me that the pain isn't going to be around for a couple of days while I limp on that side after she has done the dirty deed!
