Memorial To George Carlin

Sunday, George Carlin passed away of heart failure at the age of 71. Love him for his irreverent humor and unique view of the world or hate him for it, you cannot deny his impact on the comedy world. In remembrance, we're posting several of his quotes below.

"When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?"

"If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?"

"Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong."

"Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."

"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Mr. Carlin, you will be missed.
