A few words about life...

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, you go to work. You work forty years until you're 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, you spend your last nine months floating …and
you finish off as an orgasm.

George Carlin (1937-2008)

The man who makes people laugh laughs no more

i had the privilege of seeing george carlin a few years ago at the warner theatre and the man was sharper than a tack, more lucid than the aurora borealis, and saltier than a whorehouse full of sailors on leave during wartime...

the picture is a shot of part of the front of the cover of George Carlin's debut LP from 1967.
