George Carlin was a legendary stand-up comedian known for his insightful and often irreverent observations about life. Here are five memorable quotes from him:

1. “The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.”

2. “Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.”

3. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

4. “The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.”

5. “Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.”
