I had you labeled as a lush (that's a joke about being a 'wine'-r). A few generations back in my family we had actual whiners, so I empathize with you.

I mean, consider the bright side, you could've gone into politics with a last name like "Weiner"...



Don't push it. There's nothing funny about ad hominem attacks. Really.


Ce la vie. It wasn't intended as an attack, really. I was sympathizing with you as my greatgrandmother actually had the last name whiner, but I understand how my remarks might've appeared as intended to insult you.

My apologies, I was simply trying to inject a bit of wit into the discussion :(.


I empathize with Dave here, people take one look at my last name and assume that I'm punctual and predictable.


I had a teacher in high school call me "stone path" after summer break. So close!


While I didn't find his comment particularly funny, I'm not sure I'm seeing the attack in it - just reads to me as a light-hearted joke about names, in contrast to the top comment which genuinely described you as a "whiner".
