    When I was a little boy in New York City in the 1940s, we swam in the Hudson River and it was filled with raw sewage okay? We swam in raw sewage! You know… to cool off! And at that time, the big fear was polio; thousands of kids died from polio every year but you know something? In my neighbourhood, no one ever got polio! No one! Ever! You know why? Cause we swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw shit!

    Love Carlin, but this bit didn’t exactly age well. lol

      Well I mean later on in the bit he also talks about only needing to wash: armpits, asshole, crotch and teeth and you’d save time by using the same brush.

      I’m certain if he was alive today he’d rip these morons apart.

      Master Splinter and the Turtles are mutants with super mutant immune systems AND other systems that give them a neutral smell no matter what. We mere mortals cannot compare to the glory of TMNT.

    Honestly these old folks had the luxury of swimming in many creeks and rivers with low pollution, maybe them going there today and seeing how bad it is will make them realize how we’re destroying the planet for shareholder value

    deep breath for this one) has speculated that he may have been exposed to the parasitic worm that ate part of his brain when he stuck his hand in the bloody mouth of a dead bear before driving with the carcass to Manhattan and abandoning it in Central Park (exhale).

    That’s where the brainworms comments are from.
