A Matter Of Expression
Mixed in with our long-celebrated lexicon are a variety of shortcuts we take to make a point–expressions and sayings to be exact. The late comedic giant, George Carlin, gives us his hilarious take on some of these well-known and often-used adages, such as “fine and dandy,” “it’s the quiet ones you gotta watch” and “the greatest things since sliced bread,” among others.

Carlin Ahead Of His Time
The late comedian and social critic George Carlin was ahead of his time when he took a swipe at global warming during one of his acts.
“We’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years–200 years versus four and one-half billion,” says Carlin, who died in 2008. “And we have the conceit to think that we are somehow still a threat. That somehow we’re going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little, blue-green ball that’s just a floatin’ around the sun. The planet has been through a lot worse than us.”
Listen to Carlin’s entertaining show that makes you think twice. Be forewarned that the video contains language that may be objectionable.

Four Groups That Gotta Go
The late comic George Carlin dreams up a plan to banish what he calls “our most annoying citizens.” Carlin breaks down the miscreants into four groups: violent criminals, sex criminals, drug addicts and alcoholics, and finally, the maniacs and crazy people.
Carlin says each group will be exiled to four rectangular U.S. states–each fenced in–and allowed to permanently partake in their pleasure. The host states: Kansas for the violent criminals, Wyoming for the sex criminals, Colorado for the drug addicts and alcoholics, and Utah for the maniacs and crazies.
Check out the details of Carlin’s zany scheme to excommunicate these lowlifes from society. Please rejoin us here on LOL next Tuesday for more of the lighter side of life. — The Wickel
