One of the funniest men to ever walk the Earth is no longer with us today. Comedian George Carlin died of heart failure at St. Johns Health Center in Santa Monica, Ca. on Sunday. He was 71 years old.
One of my favorite George Carlin routines was the seven words you can’t say on TV. Do I need to tell you NOT SAFE FOR WORK? I shouldn’t, unless you have been living in a cave your whole life.
I have compiled my top 10 favorite quotes from Carlin:
“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”
“’I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest sentence?”
“I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.”
“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.”
“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”
“Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did.”
“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.”
