If you want to make a recent computer science graduate mad, tell them that OO is just regular programming in a different pair of pants - cargo pants to carry around all the baggage of a class.
You nailed it!
There was an interesting essay written by someone talking about OO being the "Kingdom of the Nouns". Basically you can't do anything (no verbs) unless you attach it to an object (noun). And there's lots of times you would just like code to do something.
