A Moment for the Late Great George Carlin

I distinctly remember a night, probably fifteen years ago, when a friend was over for the night. We found a Carlin stand up show, and spent an hour or two literally laughing ourselves silly. I don't remember laughing that hard before that night, and only rarely since then.

In addition, Carlin's comedy had a way of making you think and questions your preconceived notions while entertaining you. That's a rare gift. There was no one quite like him. He will be missed.


George Carlin's Two Commandments:
  1. Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.
  2. Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.

I cried when I heard that George Carlin had died.

There are several things that I will never hear without thinking of him. A couple of them are..... Have a nice day..... Jumbo Shrimp.....

I came across this while reading about George this past week..... One of his own deep thoughts....

Life is short. Sorry. Life is not short, it's just that since everything else lasts so long -- mountains, rivers, stars, planets -- life seems short. Actually life lasts just the right amount of time. Until you die. Death on the other hand, is short.

Rest in Peace, Dear George!
