I remember the first time I ever heard George Carlin. I think I was about 7 or 8, and my parents were watching one of his HBO comedy specials (yeah, Mom and Dad weren't always great at monitering my TV viewing, but heck, they were watching it with me...). I remember laughing so hard...even though I won't get some of the jokes until years later.

There are so many good sketches - "Ways to Keep People on Their Toes," "The Airline Safety Lecture," "The Planet is Fine," and, of course, "The Seven Words." I think of them know, and I smile.

George Carlin influenced my sick sense of humor from an early age. He and The Marx Brothers (especially Grocho). Thank you for all the laughs, George :)
