He always knew his way around words.

And was not ever scared by what other said his use of them should or should not be.

I am not scared either. To some's chagrin.

OH, I do often enough.
I find interviews and stuff at times that, even at this age, still surprise and delight me.
Not just the dirty seven stuff.

There's a time and a place for words.
Carlin made sure that he was in good form during his live shows before adult audiences but you never heard an F-bomb from him while he sat with Carson.

Even Carlin knew there was a line and he didn't cross it.

So you say you aren't scared to swear. What are you, eight years old?
No adult is scared to swear, but they seem to understand where and when to do it.

This isn't the place for it.

Words just don't scare me as much as they seem to for some others.
Yes, I know that words are what separate some more civilized folks from others at times. So, save that argument.

I use whatever words work at a particular moment in time.

And hey, as he put it, at least we'd have a balanced budget.

Thanks, Lynn.
One person in this universe that understands, just for a moment, my sense of humor.

I move on now, and it might not be pretty......LOL.
