      You know, I mean it’s the same thing if a man carries a little bag, a little purse in his hand, you know? That’s all it is, it’s a little purse. It’s a purse; that’s all. Some guys can’t handle that word. Some guys who carry them can’t even call it that. They’ll say, “Where’s my little bag?” I say, ”fuck you it’s your purse. Pick it up and get out of here will you?” I mean if you can’t handle the word, don’t carry the bag. That’s all it is a little purse. I got one, big deal. What does it mean? But some people like to taunt you they’ll say, “Is that your purse?” And I say, “Yes it is and I have a picture of your mother in here sucking off an Indian.” And that seemed to satisfy their curiosity.

      – George Carlin

          Yeah, we lost a national treasure when he died. I was really lucky to have seen him live. I think he had a cold, because he sounded sick and he was a little off, but it was absolutely worth it anyway.

            Lucky. I wanted to go see him when I was 7 years old in the late 80s. My mom wouldn’t take me. She said “he says 7 things you can’t say on tv.” I said “I know. I want to hear what they are.”

            My mom decided that wasn’t a good enough reason to go take her 1st grader to a George Carlin show in 1989.
