George Carlin: Twelve Amusing Questions by Carlin

George Carlin

George Carlin asked some good questions. But, did anyone ever come up with any answers to them?

Comedian George Carlin is dead at 71 of heart failure. Although his humor in his later years became unfunny to some, Carlin made some telling observations–and asked some sly questions–especially earlier in his career.

We now present 12 questions asked by Carlin.

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

2 When someone is impatient and says, “I haven’t got all day,” I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?

3 Is a vegetarian permitted to eat animal crackers?

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

5 Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?

6 Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

7 Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?

8 If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?

9 Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a broker?

10 What if there were no hypothetical questions?

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

12 “I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?

How many of the 12 questions were you able to answer?

    I attended one Carlin comedy act in 1071 in Grand Rapids, MI.

    I laughed until tears ran down my cheeks and my face hurt and my gut ached.

    Carlin gave us a mirror on our society!

    Thanks for the laughter.

    Frosty,

    Carlin gave us a mirror on our society!

    That he did.

    I always thought Carlin was extremely funny–the first 40-odd years of his 50-year career.

    May he Rest in Peace.

    Thanx for sharing the recollection!
