George Carlin RIP

So George Carlin floats up to heaven and is greeted by St. Peter at the Pearly Gate (yeah, it's just one gate... why was it ever pluralized?).

"Howdy, Pete!" says George.

"Welcome." says St. Peter.

"I am so glad I don't have to work stand-up comedy any more." continued George. "I got so tired of doing that '7 words' routine. I had better material, but all the rubes just wanted to hear me say '$hit' and 'f*ck' all the-"

At that point, St. Peter interrupted George Carlin. "You can't say those words up here, my son."

"Really?" intoned Mr. Carlin.

"Yes," replied St. Peter, "the 7 words that cannot be spoken on broadcast television also cannot be spoken in heaven. The first time one of them is uttered, the offender is cast into hell."

"Well, I'll be d@mned!" exclaimed George.
