I assume the water is safe to drink in our city still?
[Audience reacts negatively]
Hmm? Yeah. Yeah, I only really asked the question to set you up a little bit. I'm sorry. I don't mean to use you but I don't really care about the water. I just love to hear the answer to that question. You know, I ask it everywhere I go. How's the water? Haven't gotten a positive answer yet. Not one. Last year I was in 40 states, over 100 cities. Not one audience was able to say to me, “Yes, enjoy some of our fine local water. It is pure and it is good.” Of course, I know a lot of people don’t talk that way anymore but nobody trusts their local water supply. Nobody! And that amuses me, I like that, it amuses me. I admit I’m a bit perverted but it amuses me that no one can really trust the water anymore and the thing I like about it the most is it means the system is beginning to collapse and everything is starting to break down... I love bad news. Hey, the more bad news there is, the faster this system collapses. Fine by me. Fine by me. Don't bother my ass. I'm glad the water sucks. You know what I do about it? I drink it. Unless it really smells. If it smells like sulfur, then I might buy a soda.
Great clip! First caught wind of george carlin because of his tv show on fox back in the day. Shit was hilarious!
