"You know, when you name your Son 'Jeeves', you've pretty much set up his life's path for him. What is he going to become...a hitman? 'Pardon me sir, but I'm afraid I must whack you.' "

Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld

"I've always wondered about good characters that have evil sounding names, and then everybody always acts surprised when he turns evil."

"With a name like Applejack, I guess she was set up at birth to be put in that apple business."

I'm lucky I don't live in the Batman: The Animated Series universe. If I did I'd end up being some kind of pork-based supervillain.
