      Jokes are supposed to make you laugh at absurdity, not cry at it.

      That’s not criticism of your comment, but of the truth of it.

        I don’t know, George Carlin wanted to make me laugh and cry at the same time based on some of the things he said.

        I mean this is funny but also true and very sad:

        Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.
