Did you buy him a drink? :P
Did the drink have an umbrella?
My name is Ernie, but I go by the ID, Sensei Ern because I HATE my name.
Most of us, usually when we were kids wanted to change our names because of how cruel the other kids could be. My brother Mark wanted to go by his middle name, David, because he was tired of being called the "Hair Lip Dog".
My dad told him to be grateful his name wasn't...Ernie.
As a cruel joke, my boss makes me share a cubical with a guy named...Bert.
When you hear the name Ernie, you think of Ernie and Bert, Ernest Goes to Camp, and why is it that every child molester on televison is called "Uncle Ernie?
I tried going by my middle name, Leo. I could have just as well changed my name to, "I'll never get a date 'cuz I'm a Dork"
Sorry. NOT TRUE! ERNIE AND BERT ARE NOT (!) GAY! This is an urban legend...

Ummm... Sorry, but Bert and Ernie are gay.
You're wrong.
Ernie is gay, Bert is a good sport.
