Someone I knew died, and I started thinking about things he said when he was living.
He once told me he could listen to George Carlin all day.
(At that time the reason he and I were talking about Mr. Carlin was because it was in the news that the famous stand-up comedian had just died.)
[2008]
When we listen to George Carlin on You Tube, people in the Comments say, "He isn't making jokes, he's just telling the truth."
There's a video: George Carlin Talks About "Stuff"
One of the Comments says, "God the word stuff sounds so weird after watching this haha. It's like it lost all meaning."
..."George Carlin wasn't a comedian, he was a philosopher with a sense of humor."
"George Carlin - undisputed champion of comedy"
"George Carlin is the voice I hear in my head."
---------------- "really? Mine's Morgan Freeman....."
------------------------ "Mine is Keith Richards. Sounds cool at the beginning, but I really can't understand what he's saying anymore"
"This guy is the best comedian to ever live. All his jokes are true."
"George Carlin, the Aristotle of the comedy world."

Someone told me yesterday, of our co-worker/friend: "He's in a better place."
Maybe he's in heaven, hanging out with George Carlin.
