Whatever.
I don't find fart jokes funny at all, and I think Carlin is highly overrated. His early stuff, like the stuff they are playing today.....frankly it sucks. His later stuff was more a pissed off old man spouting why he hates everything. Some of his later stuff was entertaining, I don't mean to say he totally sucked, but I found his observations to be highly simplistic; meaning it didn't take a genius to observe all the crap he did because anyone WITH intelligence already observed it.
