More from George Carlin
"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck."
"I like it when a guy is so stupid he doesn't know he's being made fun of. That's funnier than anything."
"When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front-row seat."
"Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day."
"Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid."
About George Carlin (1937-2008)
American stand-up comedian whose 'Seven Words You Can't Say on Television' (1972) reached the Supreme Court and reshaped US obscenity law. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (countercultural-comedy peer) and Lenny Bruce (predecessor in obscenity-law fights). For an intellectual contrast, see Tipper Gore, co-founder of the Parents Music Resource Center — the PMRC's 1985 Senate hearings on 'explicit' content labeling are exactly the cultural-establishment force Carlin's free-speech comedy was organized against.
