OOP goes bad when you take a centralized design and nominalize the verbs, yes. It's more fun to think in terms of trained animals: "Trash, go empty yourself outside."

    TrashBag >> emptyInto: vessel
      |here| here := self place.
      self go: vessel place.
      vessel add: self spill.
      self go: here

This seems just as reasonable as the English he wrote. (I like functional programming too.)
