George Carlin Memorial Theatre

~~~



Random Guy #1: Hey, did you hear? George Carlin died.

Random Guy #2: Really? I just saw him yesterday.

Random Guy #1: Yeah? It didn't help. He died anyway. Apparently, the simple act of your seeing him did not slow down his heart disease. In fact it may have made it more aggressive. You know, you may be responsible for George's death.

In his first 25 years on stage, he had the ability to say that 99 people out of 100 are idiots and make you feel like he wasn't talking about you. In his last 25 years, the subtlety steadily receded because time was running out and he could see that the idiots were still not getting it. Not you, though. He didn't mean you.







George Carlin was like the lone uncle at a family reunion who would tell the kids the real reason their grandmother walked with a limp. You could always find him, because he was surrounded 3 deep by those kids. Happily, a lot of stuff he said was into a microphone.
