1. “Something is wrong here: War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kinda (expletive) you’d expect from an office temp with a bad attitude.”
2. “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.”
3. “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”
4. “Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?”
5. “I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section?” She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.”
6. “Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?”
7. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
8. “How come when it’s us it’s ‘an abortion,’ but when it’s a chicken it’s an omelet?”
9. “The best thing about getting old is you’re not responsible for remembering things anymore. Even important things. ‘But it was your daughter’s funeral.’ ‘I forgot!’ You can even make believe you have Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a lot of fun. You can look around the dining room table and say, ‘Who are you people and where is my horse?’
10. “Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man… living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”

HAHHAHHha ha..choke...
10."But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
ahh... this is funny, but sad...
Carlin had some great stuff.
He definitely looked at the world through different glasses.
See what you get when a Martian comes to Earth and looks at what we do?
Larry,
That was L. ROn Hubbard...lol
... always enjoyed Carlin ... even in irreverance ... at least he made you think beyond being stupid ... :)
These were good. I like #2.
loved him!
I was a big fan of Carlin in the 70's and 80's. I think he just got hateful in his last few years, probably with good reason.
I love #10.
I always liked Al Sleet, the hippie dippy weatherman.
So did I Walker. But I'm afraid my experience is limited to Ed SUllivan and LPs. I naver had the opportunity to see his act live.
"Tonight's forecast: Dark. Continued dark throughout most of the evening, with some widely-scattered light towards morning."

"Temperature at the airport is 88 degrees, which is stupid because I don't know anybody who lives at the airport."
Carlin was one of the best...thanks for this trip
So, if I walked into a restaurant in Alabama, or some other place down South and ordered Chicken Abortions Over Easy, what would they do? LOL
If you died while you were on the phone and someone had put you on hold, would your light go out on the other end?
