George Carlin Quotations Reveal His Fiendish Humor

By Simran Khurana, About.com

You need to have some daredevilry to be a standup comedian like George Carlin. It's no wonder that Carlin has often found himself in the grip of controversies. His "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine invited the wrath of the US Supreme Court in 1972, which upheld that the comedy routine "Seven Dirty Words" was indecent, but not obscene. Of course, George Carlin was unfazed by the hullabaloo. Enjoy these George Carlin quotations which bring out his irreverent humor.
