Fisherman.

My father was a fisherman, so i grew up on boats.
You give a boat a name and eyes, and alot of times it acts like a person and even tells you things.
But it isn't a person, is it.
Fishermen are funny sometimes, but my father used to say that you could tell when a man was really crazy.
Because if he didn't like his boat he'd sink it instead of selling it.
A boat has a spirit, but it takes more than a spirit to make a person.
