Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into thre

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that inanimate objects can be categorized into three groups based on their functionality. The first category includes objects that do not work at all, perhaps due to manufacturing defects or malfunction. The second category consists of objects that may initially work but eventually break down or stop functioning over time. The third category pertains to objects that are frequently misplaced or lost, often due to human negligence. Overall, the quote emphasizes a lighthearted observation about the reliability and lifespan of inanimate objects.
