I've gotta say that George Carlin is probably one of the most unquoted of all quoted ppl. I see his lil jokes and puns everywhere, but rarely does he get credit for it.

 

I've seen this one on everything from t-shirts, greeting cards, bumperstickers... you name it.

 

I've even seen some ppl quote his zany stuff as if it were fact! :eek:

Speaking of George Carlin...

 

"Some say the glass is half full. Some say the glass is half empty. I say, the glass is the wrong size."

 

Not sure if that's an exact quote, I'm working off memory, but it conveys the meaning!

 

And he was great in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," which still contains the only quote you need to know: "Be Excellent to Each Other."
