I stole this from Kat...Hope you don't mind!
In Honor of Him May 12, 1937~~June 22, 2008 1. When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say? 2. When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny? 3. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted? 4. When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day? 5. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks? 6. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? 7. Is a vegetarian permitted to eat animal crackers? 8. What if there were no hypothetical questions? 9. Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. 10. Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong. 11. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. 12. Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to? 13. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. 14. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with. 15. I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it. 16. May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house. 17. Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? 18. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? 19. I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer's disease where they slowly began to recover other people's lost memories. 20. Electricity is really just organized lightning. 21. Women like silent men, they think they're listening. 22. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? 23. Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it. 24. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? 25. Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they? 26. Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. 27. I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away. 28. Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a broker? 29. 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. 30. There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past. 31. At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom. 32. As a matter of principle, I never attend the first annual anything. 33. 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. 34. Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. 35. Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. 36. I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. 37. The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music. 38. Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money! 39. This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.

I love GC. I had one of his pieces framed in my room. I was very sad to hear of his death.

You're right pope. He was very young - only 71. I've always loved his humor. I remember watching the 7 dirty words bit when it first came out on TV. We were on the floor, laughing so hard.
The world needs people like George Carlin, who sees and talks about the things we do in such an intelligent and humorous way. His perception of the human condition was brilliant.

Always do whatever's next. George Carlin At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom. George Carlin Atheism is a non-prophet organization. George Carlin By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth. George Carlin Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. George Carlin Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. George Carlin Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established. George Carlin Electricity is really just organized lightning. George Carlin Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity. George Carlin Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

George Carlin I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer's disease where they slowly began to recover other people's lost memories. George Carlin I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work. George Carlin 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. George Carlin 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. George Carlin I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood. George Carlin I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it. George Carlin 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. George Carlin I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect. George Carlin If God had intended us not to masturbate he would've made our arms shorter. George Carlin 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. George Carlin If we could just find out who's in charge, we could kill him. George Carlin If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten. George Carlin In comic strips, the person on the right always speaks first. George Carlin Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist. George Carlin Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town. George Carlin May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house. George Carlin Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit. George Carlin Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did. George Carlin One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like. George Carlin One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. George Carlin People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think. George Carlin Religion is just mind control. George Carlin 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. George Carlin Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another. George Carlin The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live. George Carlin The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going. George Carlin The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept. George Carlin The status quo sucks. George Carlin 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. George Carlin There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. George Carlin There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past. George Carlin Think off-center. George Carlin Weather forecast for tonight: dark. George Carlin Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they? George Carlin What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on? George Carlin When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day? George Carlin When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent. George Carlin When you step on the brakes your life is in your foot's hands. George Carlin When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat. George Carlin You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar. George Carlin You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans. George Carlin
