Missing Carlin (or How to Look Thirty Years into the Future)

I know I'm a little late, but...

Birth control pills are still on prescription... you still need a note to get laid. You gotta go to one guy to get the note and then to another guy. Ladies must feel silly going 'here's my note!"

Someday birth control pills will come off prescription.... When they do, they'll need those cute little catchy names that the patent medicines have. Names which describe what the product does... sleepez, no-doz, dentugrip, orafix...something for the youngster: juniormiss... wombbroom... humptydumpty.

In case there was any doubt as to Carlin's genius, I offer you Yaz.

I'm heartbroken. I can't think of a person that I don't know in person that I will miss more.
