          “Just think how stupid the average person is… then realize that 50% of people are dumber than that!”

          Paraphrased from George Carlin.

            Oh yeah, I watched some reaction video tonight on Carlin. Its funny how what he saw hasn’t changed at all but so few know about it. The young person watching got hung up on the stupidest things and missed the point as well. Choosing to concentrate on some minor generational use of words rather than the message itself.

              Yeah, there are a few of those comedians who I believe will prove timeless. Carlin’s and Pryor’s works in particular will never completely lose relevance because they’re such fundamental takes on humanity.
