• You know how people can imagine animals talking?  You see it in TV
  and movies all the time. They talk, just like humans would.  I’ve
  never minded that fact until years ago when I was channel surfing and
  saw an episode of that cartoon “Dexter’s Laboratory.”  In that
  story, Dexter got a dog to talk.  Sure, that’s not anything
  particularly new, but the thing about it is that the dog didn’t all of
  a sudden become a pure conversationalist.  The dog started saying
  things like “the thing! the thing!” or “look here! look here!” ….and
  it got me thinking….that’s just like what a dog WOULD be saying if it
  could talk.  I realized that an animal really couldn’t hold a
  conversation with me if it could talk the english language.  Why
  would they right? So now, everytime I see a commercial, a tv show, or a
  movie that has talking animals, I kinda have a habit to roll my eyes a
  bit when they start talking like a human person. 

  I would excuse Garfield though, because if I didn’t he would ship me in a box to timbaktu.
