Those Gender Bending Rabbits

My coworker has two rabbits and she was told they were both males. However, one of the rabbits recently gave birth to several baby rabbits, so it is apparently a female. When she mentioned this at a family gathering her dad (somewhat of a wildlife expert) told her "Well, you know, if you put two male rabbits together, one of them becomes a female."

She believed him and shared the news with me the next day. I looked at her and said, "that's probably why they reproduce so prolifically." Another co-worker set us straight and her dad confirmed that he was joking.

    I have a really hard time believing that someone intelligent enough to use the word "prolifically" correctly in a sentence, would be ignorant enough to believe this were true.
