Title: Sad day a funny man dies!
Post by: njgt-1 on June 23, 2008, 06:06:33 AM
Guys,

Just heard George Carlin died at 71 years old.
Don't know how you felt about his humor but I always loved his satire. His "seven dirty words you can't say on TV' was funny, dirty and ground breaking when it came to censorship. Love him or hate him, he was funny and he always "told it like it was"!

good by George!  :icon_cry:
