I’m sure you’ve all heard that George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71. I was a fan of his and it is sad to know that he’s gone. Here are a few of my favorite musings-George Carlin style:
* “I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?
* Why do the signs that say “Slow Children” have a picture of a running child?
* Is there another word for synonym?
* When you step on the brakes, your life is in your foot’s hands.
* Why do we sing “Take me out to the ball game,” when we are already there?
* Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
* Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?
* Daylight savings time – why are they saving it and where do they keep it?
* Do you think that when they asked George Washington for ID that he just whipped out a quarter?
* Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?
* What if there were no hypothetical questions?
* If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?
* If a pig loses it’s voice, is it disgruntled?
* When someone asks you, “a penny for your thoughts,” and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
