Irreverence can be funny, man.

In honor of the funny man, whose contemplations sometimes made me laugh and ponder.


The Invisible Man

"Think about it.

Religion has actually 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 special list... of Ten Things he does NOT want you to do, and if you do ANY of these 10 things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and forever till the END OF TIME......

But he loves you!"

RIP. "Filthy Words" is still a favorite of mine.

"When I was a kid we drank driveway puddles and swam in raw sewage!"

We really, really did.

Rest easy, Al Sleet. :(

*sigh* I'm really going to miss him. He didn't pussyfoot around things for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Thanks for sharing.

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 :)

Invisible man ...

thank you. I am trying to clean the grapefruit juice off my keyboard after reading this:D And hope like hell nobody sees the stupid grin on my face after reading this. Memo to self: no reading funny stuff at work. Makes people very suspicious when you start laughing!
