* SuddenlyShouting: From ''What Am I Doing in New Jersey?'', he tells the audience about ways to keep people on their toes. One such method:
-->Or else, just go running into a quiet little store on a Sunday morning, and say, '''"ARE YOU OPEN ON THURSDAAAAAAAY?!"''' They'll say "Yes!" Then say, '''"THANK YOU!"''' And ''run!'' Let ''them'' figure it out!

** As he explains how one of the Seven Dirty Words had been stripped from of its original meaning:
---> For some reason now, '''COCKSUCKER!''' means "bad man". ''It's a good woman! How did they do that?''

--->We have more ways to describe dirty words than we actually ''have'' dirty words. That seems a little strange to me. It seems to indicate that somebody was awfully interested in these words... they kept referring to them! They called them ''bad, dirty, foul, vile, vulgar, coarse, in poor taste, unseemly, street talk, gutter talk, locker room language, barracks talk, boldy, naughty, saucy, raunchy, rude, crude, lude, lascivious, indecent, profane, obscene, blue, off-color, risque, suggestive, cursing, cussing, swearing'' - and all I can think of was '''''"Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits"''''', man!

Added DiffLines:

* StimulantSpeedtalk: Once had a routine about big pharma making drug use socially acceptable. Diet pills marketed to housewives had a stimulant side-effect that caused rapid speech. Carlin mimics a son wondering why his mother is behaving oddly: "What's this, Mom? Shopping at midnight?" The reply is a flurry of syllables that explain everything, including contingencies, in less than ten seconds. Then, *zip* Mom's out the door and gone.
