George Carlin...

George Carlin has died at the age of 71. I had the privilege of seeing him perform live at Mohegan Sun Casino about 2 years ago. Here is a link about him:

Classic Carlin...



For those of you that don't know of him, here are some of my favorite quotes:

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...


...and you finish off as an orgasm.”

“Why is there so much controversy about drug testing? I know plenty of guys who would be willing to test any drug they could come up with”

“Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town.”

“One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like”

“If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten”

“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that ...”

“The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.”

“Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things”

“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

“One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor”

“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity”

“Always do whatever's next”

“When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.”

“The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept”

“If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little”

“Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.”

“I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose”

“People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think”

“There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.”

“Who decides when the applause should die down? It seems like it's a group decision; everyone begins to say to themselves at the same time, "Well, okay, that's enough of that."”

“I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me . . they're cramming for their final exam.”

“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit”

“I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.”

“The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live”



“Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist”

These are but a taste of the sometimes controversial play on words that Carlin is famous for.

Thanks for all the laughs and the memories Mr. George Carlin. ( I'm quite certain he would have hated to be called Mr. and would reply in sarcasm)

you should post this in the news forum.

I was thinking about it but figured Aerial would freak about the language. Feel free to take what you want from it and make a story . I'm not on the news team .
