I've got lots of nick names. Shimpie is an old one from highschool. My real name is Weena, which immediately brings to mind the words "weenie" and "weiner". One day, my friend heard a rather funny Volvo commercial on his drive into school. The commercial compared Car X to the numerous safety features of a Volvo. When the sales person was asked about airbags in Car X, he replied, "Car X doesn't have one, but it comes with Shimpie the inflatable weiner dog!" Of course, my name was revised to Shimpie from there on out.
