The George Carlin Theory:
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is
tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of
it? A Death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all
backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live
in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a
gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you are young
enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you
get ready for High School. You go to Grade School, you become a kid,
you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you
go back into the womb, spend your last nine months just floating....and
you finish off as an orgasm." - George Carlin
george is a bear after my own heart............
I've recently came across 4 seperate Carlin stand up acts and he is a God to me.
Carlin is great. Here's one of my favorites.
Quote:The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system.
The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic.
The earth doesn't share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, "Why are we here?"
Plastic...a**hole.
I just love Carlin, it's a pity that we don't get him here in Germany... Got two books, check the net when I remember.
Remember "Seven things you can't say on network television"? Great stuff, gotta love him.
I like him also. lol My husband likes his jokes but he can't abide his language *shrug*
I never f*cked a ten, but one night I f*cked five twos.
I don't think the first joke is a Carlin. Can anyone confirm?
I remember it as one from Seinfeld.
The living life in reverse joke? I have never heard it before, but it sounds very much like Carlin. The way the tempo speeds up and slows down very sporadically, that's Carlin's style.
Well, I know it was in Seinfeld. I just don't know if it was originally from the show.
Well, I couldn't imagine Jerry Seinfeld using that joke, but it suits Constanza.
I am pretty sure its Carlin's. I vaguely remember hearing him do it somewhere.
Well, now we have a conflict: Snopes.com says it's from the writing of a guy named Sean Morey.

The thing is people feel free to take any and everything they read and do anything they want with it. So first Snopes has to dig through all the ANDY ROONEY rumors before linking to Morey's page.

Now, here's a question: is it still as funny if George Carlin or Jerry Seinfeld didn't write it?
Here's another: is Snopes wrong? They haven't failed me before.....
Joe
There was s Superman comic where Superman went to a live life backwards planet once.
But - they never mentioned the orgasm.
Plus - being sucked back into the womb?
That isn't going to be good for ANYONE!
Of course it is still funny! It would be funny if Newman wrote it!
It must really drive both George Carlin and whoever really wrote those line crazy.
You know, I'm not sure it was in Seinfeld, now that I think about it. Anyone know which episode it was that George said that?
He didn't say it.
Hey, kicky...... you getting outta town this weekend?
