Some people believe that what you name your baby greatly affects what he or she will become in life. For instance, if you name a boy Joe or Mike, he's likely to grow up to be a bartender or a UPS delivery guy. Whereas if you name him Conrad or Balthazar, he's likely to grow up to be a poet or a sommelier.
Jim and Peggy Johnson pooh-poohed this theory. They named their son Rabbitboy, and they hoped he would grow up to be a doctor or a marine biologist. To their dismay, he grew up to be Rabbitboy, a star attraction at carnival sideshows in the 1930s.
At the outbreak of World War II Rabbitboy enlisted in the army. Tragically, while parachuting onto the beach at Normandy on D-Day, Private Johnson's rabbit ears became entangled in his parachute lines, and he plummeted to his death.
