Rhetorical Statement.
Carlin is the only sensible choice.

2. Carlin hands down ...
He was the first comic I really thought was funny when I
became aware of standups ... Bob Hope and Jack Benny and
all the older guys didn't make me laugh out loud, but
Carlin certainly did. RIP, George ...

3. Carlin was one of my last heroes!!!
Listening to him today, Janet said, "ok, now I see where you got that attitude!!!"

4. I appreciated them both
but I would have to say George Carlin. His jokes and his delivery were like twin smacks from a Zen master's stick--the first one is to make you enlightened, and the second is to make sure it sticks.

5. Carlin flipped me the bird in 1995,
while driving on Fairfax ave in LA.

OF COURSE it's Carlin!
