The following is transcript of one of Carlin's program, not the above unfortunately, but it helps to read it.

I love words. I thank you for hearing my words.

Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.3 J ]$ I, q: |! `) q
then we assign a word to a thought and we're stuck with that word for

0 ?+ Y6 [- e ~% r$ l. fnot belong on the list. Actually none of the words belong on the list,

MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on/ h- ?5 y- K& b; F. ^; E6 P$ r
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.
) W$ S1 Q5 b0 WI mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend
/ i U/ c `* [2 l: w6 Gwith. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at
& X8 A3 V' v V) C6 Syou like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."
3 k: E: k% m3 R6 D& M. b0 kIt's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the

together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that* F) J7 p! Q0 k* P4 C7 p
Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were
3 {2 [- V8 U) E7 x! jcertain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I% |7 I% M5 M8 a K _
don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such

And, of course, the word Fuck. I don't really, well that's more4 t: ?* Y" r! @1 I# W6 }& w
accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think
, @- M: b( D* o$ Q; [" Z7 Git takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very9 w) K0 N+ n4 h( d, A
imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to
* K6 E2 N' q. d6 c# p( shurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,

. t1 V" z+ Y# v2 `! WI like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for
/ u2 }! i5 H! x& Wthe word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,

So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word.

and Johnny. I mean, it is just impossible. Forget tHose 7. They're out.

1 f2 {* H% @. A4 M/ o. d9 }goes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You
