Addendum: A conversation between a rabbit owner and her roommate, a true story.
Rabbit owner: *Sigh*. I wish my rabbit would lay eggs.
Roommate: Yeah! Where are his eggs? Has he laid any yet?
Rabbit owner: He's a rabbit.
Roommate: Oh yeah. He's a boy! Boys don't lay eggs.
Rabbit owner: He's a rabbit. A RABBIT. Rabbits don't lay eggs.
Roommate: What do you mean rabbits don't lay eggs? They do in the commercial.
Rabbit owner: Rabbits are mammals. Mammals don't lay eggs. That is, like, the definition of mammal. They have live babies at birth.
Roommate: Birds lay eggs!
Rabbit owner: Birds aren't mammals. They're like, their own class in the phylum or whatever.
Roommate: Oh. So your rabbit really won't lay eggs?
Rabbit owner: No. No he won't.
Roommate: Don't treat me like I'm stupid! I bet that like, half the people in my class think rabbits lay eggs.
Rabbit owner: Alright. You take a survey and get back to me.
Please note that the survey has yet to happen.
