Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

OK... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs", what does that make the Tennessee Titans ?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?

There are three religious truths:
1. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
2. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.
3. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters

A FEW QUESTIONS:

1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a whack?

4. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

5. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

6. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

7. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts"
and you put your two cents in . . . what happens to the other penny?

8. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

9. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

10. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

11. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist?

12. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

13.. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

14. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

15. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

16. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

17. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

18. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

19. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

20. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me .. ... they're cramming for their final exam.

21. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

22. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

23. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

24. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

25. No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

26. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

27. Last night I played a blank tape at full blast.
The mime next door went nuts.

28. If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?

29. Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?
 
Good, your car will rock when you get it back.

When are you putting the 'cage in:)

I just got home from work and that is EXACTLY what I needed. George Carlin is an absolute riot! I have on CD 20 min segment where he talks about driving. OMG is that the funniest thing. Sometimes I'll play that when in traffic. What is the worse part is that everything he is saying is true. He talks about license plates, he talks about other driver's, talks about annoying habits... he just covers it all!

Good stuff... if I wasn't so darn tired, I'd type the transcript from that driving segment.

Thanks again.
 
I also get a kick out of Gallagher. He has lines like:

Why do they call them buildings when they are already built?

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

Every now and then you can catch reruns of his HBO shows on one of the cable channels. I haven't seen them in a while, so they must be due for a rerun soon.
 
I doubt any of that material is Carlin. :rolleyes:

Well, possibly one or two of them... Most of those are too "cute" for him to take credit for.

More Gallagher quotes from his shows:

"If a duck eats and goes in the water, does he get the cramps?"

"Why do they call a woman's prison a penal colony?"

"Where do contractors go after they get your job half done?"

"Do you have to brush your teeth during a fast?"

"Why do they call it a fast when it goes so damn slow?"

"Did Ray Charles ever hit his tooth on the mic?"

"Does Joe Jackson have to be in his videos?"


All I could think of right now...

Who is Joe Jackson?
