George Carlin had this to say about the saying “the greatest thing since sliced bread”: So this is it, huh folks. The pyramids for christ sakes! The Panama Canal, the GReat wall of CHina, even a lava lamp, to me is greater than sliced bread.What’s so great about it? you got a knife and a loaf of bread. SLICE THE F***ING THING!!!!

I agree with Mr. Carlin, having had to deal with this problem myself to some degree. Sometimes, a person comes up with something they think is roaringly funny, but (and with good reason, might I add), are reluctant to put their own seal to it. They therefore instead affix a celebrity’s name; that way if the joke falls flat on its face, the fault is the celebrity’s, not their own.

As to my own unfortunate case…

Many of you know W.C. Fields, if not for his work, then for a single quotation most often attributed to him. And this is it:

“Any man who hates dogs and babies can’t be all that bad.”

And I agree. For you see, it is I who said it, at a roast in his honor. For a brief second, I was the star of the night. Imagine my later chagrin when I discovered men on the street talking about “that absolute card” W.C. Fields and misquoting my little gem with great, undeserved aplomb.

Be warned, would-be writers! A mere slip of the tongue can reduce the night of your greatest triumph to a life of dismay.

I didn’t write half of these.

Floating around the Internet these days, posted and e-mailed back and forth, are a number of writings attributed to me, and I want people to know they’re not mine. Don’t blame me.

Some are essay-length, some are just short lists of one and two-line jokes, but if they’re flyin’ around the Internet, they’re probably not mine. Occasionally, a couple of jokes on a long list might have come from me, but not often. And because most of this stuff is really lame, it’s embarrassing to see my name on it.

And that’s the problem. I want people to know that I take care with my writing, and try to keep my standards high. But most of this “humor” on the Internet is just plain stupid. I guess hard-core fans who follow my stuff closely would be able to spot the fake stuff, because the tone of voice is so different. But a casual fan has no way of knowing, and it bothers me that some people might believe I’d actually be capable of writing some of this stuff.

This list is no exception, I didn’t write half of it, if that.

Carlin called a spade a spade, and made it funny. He was, is, and always will be a classic humorist. I miss him.
