He said anyone that believed in God had mental problems. Imagine how surprised he is at this moment.

A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it. You can see that when you're taking off in an airplane. You look down, you see everybody's got a little pile of stuff. All the little piles of stuff. And when you leave your house, you gotta lock it up. Wouldn't want somebody to come by and take some of your stuff. They always take the good stuff. They never bother with that crap you're saving. All they want is the shiny stuff. That's what your house is, a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get...more stuff!

Sometimes you gotta move, gotta get a bigger house. Why? No room for your stuff anymore. Did you ever notice when you go to somebody else's house, you never quite feel a hundred percent at home? You know why? No room for your stuff. Somebody else's stuff is all over the goddamn place! And if you stay overnight, unexpectedly, they give you a little bedroom to sleep in. Bedroom they haven't used in about eleven years. Someone died in it, eleven years ago. And they haven't moved any of his stuff! Right next to the bed there's usually a dresser or a bureau of some kind, and there's NO ROOM for your stuff on it. Somebody else's s--t is on the dresser.

Have you noticed that their stuff is s--t and your s--t is stuff? God! And you say, "Get that s--t offa there and let me put my stuff down!"

What can I say, he’s one of the few comedians that I actually find funny.

Sad. He was a mess, though.

I think your reaction may be a common one for those who have not been fans for 50 years .

And through our tears of grief, let us endeavor to never forget the flatulent hilarity that ensued each time George graced us with his presence. Surely the Seraphim themselves are pulling upon his finger at this very moment.

Saw George live at the Circle Star (San Carlos, CA) in the early 70’s. He walks to center stage (it was a round revolving stage) and after all the cheering and whistles settle down, he is hit by a single spotlight. The very first thing out of George’s mouth was: “Did ya ever notice how your own farts don’t smell bad??” the place went crazy...

He used to do...

“IN THE NEWS”

A football team died today in sudden death overtime.

Scientists have discovered a disease that has no known symptoms. It is impossible to detect and there’s no known cure. Fortunately no cases have been reported thus far.

A man was arrested today for trying to use food stamps to mail a watermelon.

The FDA announce today that saliva causes stomach cancer. However, only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

And finally, a psychiatrist has discovered a cure for apathy. However, no one is paying any attention to it.
