Carlin had long been vocal in support of the right to smoke and ingest various drugs, and he posed this rhetorical question: “Why are there no recreational drugs in suppository form?” | was pleased to inform him that teenage girls have been experimenting with tampons soaked in vodka, inserting them vaginally or rectally as a way of getting intoxicated without their parents detecting booze on their breath. No matter what else Richard Nixon accomplished in his lifetime, his obituaries always mentioned him as the first American president to resign, and no matter what else George Carlin accomplished in Aj/s lifetime, his obits always connected him with the Supreme Court ruling on “The Seven Words You Can’ t Say on Television.” When asked in the Green Room at the Warner-Grand Theater by producer Dan Pasley why he didn’ t include the word “nigger” in that list, Carlin replied, “There’ s nothing funny about it -- that really /s a dirty word -- but repressed words about sexual functions and bodily parts were truly funny. | had only been thinking about the ‘dirty’ words in terms of sex and bodily functions, and how uptight these religious freaks have made us. 7hat’ sfun, that’ s some funny shit.” At a private memorial for family and friends, Carlin's daughter Kelly read from his burial instructions, written on May 1, 1990: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015380
