False equivalency: "I have neither been murdered nor been falsely accused of murder. I still feel pretty confident in my ability to form an opinion of which would be more damaging."
I've never had my $100 pen stolen at work, nor been false accused of stealing one, but I can imagine the false accusation would be far,…

Without a doubt Winston has had some celebrations as you call out.
