Let me just start by offering my condolences to the Carlin family. George was an icon to anyone in not only stand up comedy, but also in anyone in radio. The man wasn't afraid to push the envelope, and aside from Richard Pryor, was the funniest stand up that ever lived, IMHO. "People I can do without", "Stuff"....damn! I still remember watching him perform "Stuff" as I watched that first Comic Relief in 1986, and thinking "Man! That white guy is crazy!" Thank God for George Carlin! As a stand up myself, I respect everything the man did. He said in a History Channel special called "History Of The Joke" that "A joke is just a funny story that takes the audience on a ride with a 180 degree turn at the end", then proceeded to tell the story of a man in a bar, who was looking for a woman. He found this woman towards the end of the night, and told her "Hey, you seem like a nice lady...would you like to go back to my apartment and make love? I live just right around the corner". She agreed, but he told her that he wanted to do something kinky. She said that was fine, so they went back to his place, and proceeded to make love in a very normal, boring fashion. When they were finished, she told him "...well, that was great...but I tought you said you wanted to do somerthing kinky?" The man said "I did...I just sh!t in your purse!" HILARIOUS! The world has lost one of it's class clowns. May you rest in peace. Thanks for entertaining the rest of us for as long as you did. We were definately the lucky ones!
