"The only good thing to come out of religion was the music." George Carlin

George a nihilist? Is that why he's so funny? &;-)

He's pretty funny sometimes, but I read one of his books cover-to-cover in a short period of time, and the nihilism was too much for me, I was feeling sick by the end. Maybe I should have just taken it in smaller doses at a time.

When I read the post title, it reminded me of the Monty Python skit of the "World's Funniest Joke", which I recently saw on the web... its so funny, that you die laughing.

It was discovered in 1943 by the British, whose author immediately died. His mom, finding him with what she thought was a suicide note, giggles, laughs, and dies.

After careful construction, the army puts together a German version of the joke which the British cannot understand, but the Germans can... they use it in the Ardennes, and the rest is History. Its the story of how Britain won WWII.

In the skit, you never hear the english version of the joke, but you do hear the German version. I'm curious, if anybody knows, what the translation of the German is... (and if you know and post it, warn readers who may die laughing!)

Carlin isn't funny anymore; he has become what he once parodied and isn't smart enough to know when to quit, call 10-10-220-get-wise.

IMO, he was funny 30 yrs ago as the hippy dippy wheatherman. The stuff he does today is sooo unfunny that it is pathetic.

It consists of political and social "truisms" delivered so poorly that even if you agreed with his opinions you wouldn't find it funny. He sucks. Just my 2 cents.
