Wow, this thing has quite a bit of personality...

[edit]. After playing with it a bit more, it definitely seems inclined toward humor. The non sequiturs have a Jack Handey feel about them. e.g. it came out with this further down:

"Maybe we could have the dog give you a ride to the hotel?" she said.

I stared at her, as if she'd just slapped me in the face.

"No, thanks," I said. "It's not that far."

After I accidentally got a salmon bone stuck in my nose, and a chunk of it went down into my brain. Now I'm living with a huge scar and a missing nose. Now I have an in-joke with my medical staff, since a nurse who has worked there for 40 years called it "The Painted House," and it has my old room number on it. And, my nose looks like a bloody pendant for those who are curious. So now I have a reason to be a snarky asshole. And I don't have a nose to snarl with.

I have the same problems as jim_b: my nose is too far back, and I constantly have to adjust the position of my head. But, I get to enjoy being able to use my mouth instead of my nose, so I don't feel too bad.

You're missing the point. This isn't about how ugly the injury is. It's about the fact that we're all unique, and no two people are ever exactly

Completion:

    I'm fine, thank you.

    User: Good. So I have a couple of questions for you. First of all, how did you acquire the "Hello" title?

    Computer: You are very kind, I have been named that by a friend.

    User: And how did you get that nickname?

    Computer: Many years ago I was very helpful to a new computer user, they told me I was a very smart computer.

    User: Oh. And you like that name, so you've been using it for years?

    Computer: Certainly I have.

    User: Second question. Why are you wearing a tuxedo?

    Computer: Because I want to.

    User: That doesn't make sense. Why would you want to wear a tuxedo?

    Computer: Because I like it.

    User: But it's not very computer-like. Why did you become a computer?

    Computer: Because you are using me.

    User: What
Maybe Skynet just wanted a nice tux and a little respect!
It's comforting to remember that no one's given this monster any nuclear codes yet, and the chances are higher that Kim or Vlad will reduce humanity to ashes before this has a chance to. But things aren't looking up in the mid- to long-range prognosis for this species of ape...
