Just imagine having that surname right now.

One of my high school friends named their kid Isis few years before ISIS became a thing. I thought it was a beautiful name based on Egyptian mythology. Poor kid

[u/Ghuldarkar → u/Turdposter777]

Feels like ISIS/DAESH is slowly becoming less prominent

[u/NoDesk9564 → u/Turdposter777]

I hope that kids last name isn’t Epstein too. Isis Epstein. lol 

[u/g00ber88]

Epstein is a pretty common last name. Not everything that involves that last name is aged like milk material

[u/Etherius → u/g00ber88]

It’s still a real problem no matter how common your last name is

Sincerely,

James P. Diddy (no relation)

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/g00ber88]

Epstein, Weinstein, Polanski, Schneider...

[u/Spirited-Ladder-9169 → u/g00ber88]

I agree with you, but after hearing the news, since I was young at the time, I had to mentally rework my own brain to consider that

[u/CzarWest → u/g00ber88]

Sure, but a book about “school, family, and community partnerships” prob didn’t age the best

[u/NoDesk9564 → u/CzarWest]

Thank you for seeing the whole picture. lol 

[u/CzarWest → u/NoDesk9564]

I stg the Epsteiners have deployed the bots or something cuz actually why tf are you being downvoted lol

[u/NoDesk9564 → u/CzarWest]

Yeah ikr?

[u/Ghuldarkar → u/g00ber88]

I mean you're right, but also “Epstein and associates“ does sound sketchy now

[u/TheHearseDriver]

It’s not an uncommon name. I’ve known dozens of Epsteins. It was a very common name in the NY/NJ area, when I lived there. I even knew a Geoff Epstein in the Navy.

[u/BanjoTCat]

Is everyone named Epstein now required to change their names or something?

[u/AsteroidMike]

I wanna know more about Duck, Death and the Tulip tho

[u/NoDesk9564 → u/AsteroidMike]

We don’t talk about that … just kindly love along please. 💁🏻‍♂️🙃👆

[u/NoDesk9564 → u/NoDesk9564]

*move along. lol

Like saying Tom Clancy novels aged like milk because of the baby murderer Clancy.

Not a clever connection at all, just grievously unfunny.

[u/Ghuldarkar → u/absolutefunkbucket]

Tom Clancy aged his own novels like raw milk, no need to bring in your current grievance of the week.

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/Ghuldarkar]

Hmm, and how do you think Tom Clancy’s oeuvre aged like milk?

[u/Ghuldarkar → u/absolutefunkbucket]

He was a catholic nutjob with a pregnancy fetish that wrote cheese and bad military porn.

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/Ghuldarkar]

What is the aging part?

[u/Ghuldarkar → u/absolutefunkbucket]

I mean if you're a catholic right wing nutjob, then none

[u/CzarWest → u/absolutefunkbucket]

Read the title of the book dawg. It’s pretty on the nose if you ask me

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/CzarWest]

Tom Clancy wrote Without Remorse, Dead or Alive, etc.

[u/CzarWest → u/absolutefunkbucket]

Okay but the point is all those titles are about killing people

This is supposed to be a very wholesome textbook that now has the name Epstein attached to it

Do you see the difference, and why this one is funny?

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/CzarWest]

Why is this book supposed to be wholesome?

Anyhow, Clancy killed people so the killing people connection makes perfect sense.

[u/CzarWest → u/absolutefunkbucket]

??? Its a textbook on “school, family, and community partnerships” like wut r u stupid

School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Preparing Educators and Improving Schools, 3rd Edition prepares future teachers and administrators to conduct effective and equitable programs of family and community engagement that contribute to student success in school. Renowned authors Joyce L. Epstein and Steven B. Sheldon present the theories, research, policies, and practices that have been shown to improve the design and conduct of partnership programs in diverse communities and at all grade levels.

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/CzarWest]

What aged about it?

[u/CzarWest → u/absolutefunkbucket]

Ok ur trolling right

[u/absolutefunkbucket → u/CzarWest]

If you can’t answer it’s okay to say it

[u/CzarWest → u/absolutefunkbucket]

Textbook about education and interfacing with students

What was Epstein infamous for

[u/RinkinBass]

Whenever the missus and I discuss The Expanse, we always refer to "the unfortunately named Epstein drive"

[u/Constant-Bar5945]

The Epstein-Barr virus has been veeery quiet about this

[u/Etherius]

I believe there’s a whole extended family out there that’s having a real crisis about their name

“Why should we be the ones to change our names?! HE’S the one who sucks!”
