#95 - Only A Suggestion

Sometimes the most obvious solution just aludes you.

Anyhoo, it's been a somber day. As you all have probably heard by now, legendary comic icon (and one of my absolute favorites), George Carlin has passed away. What can I say that hasn't been said many times today: he was funny, he was silly, he made you think, and I don't think there is or will be anyone else like him. That being said, I'd like to share a few of my favorite Carlinisms (bad language ahead):



(about airplane travel) "Get on the plane, get on the plane!" "Fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! Let Evel Knievel get ON the plane!"

"You don't want to go to your doctor's office and hear this 'Jim, there's no reason you shouldn't live another 20 to 30 years. However, you will be bleeding constantly from both eyes!"

"You don't want to hear this: ' I'm pregnant, you're the father, and I'm gonna kill all three of us!' 'Calm down, have some dip.'"

(about overly friendly "crotch sniffing" dogs) "Oooh, oooh, he smells my dog!" "No Marge, I don't think that's the animal he has in mind."

"Then there's the person behind you at night WHOSE BRIGHTS ARE ON!!! His brights are on in case you want to read! Well, I just happen to have a copy of Ivanhoe with me!"

(on how to keep people on their toes) "Run into any little quiet store on a Sunday morning and yell 'ARE YOU OPEN ON THURSDAAAAAAAAY???!!!!!' They'll say yes, you go 'THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!'"

More to come on Wednesday's comic. Feel free to comment me with your own favorite George Carlin jokes.

We'll miss ya, GC :)
