Monday

From my George Carlin at-a-glance desk calendar.
The weekend page:

"Civilization began its downhill path the day some guy first uttered the words "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do."

Monday's page:

"I think many years an advanced civilization intervened with us gentically and gave us just enough intelligence to develop dangerous technology but not enough to use it wisely. Then they sat back to watch the fun. Kind of like a human zoo. And you know something? They're definitely getting their money's worth.

Is it me, or is that as we humans hit senior citizen age, our greeting message on our asnwering machine becomes longer because we talk s l o w e r for some reason. My Dad's work answering machine sounds like Graham Bell's first recording; " Hi...this_is_Bruce. I_can't_come_to_the_phone_right now," etc.....

Either he's doing his best Kirk impression, or most of his customers are new to English and he slows down so they can keep up in translating in their heads.
