You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.)

I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not.

That's exactly right. As much as I can recall, he never called anybody/group a profane word, it was always as emphasis: you f'ing moron, those f'ing bureaucrats, etc. Somehow it was always just placed and timed just right to work.

Well, it's American TV, specifically. And these days they can say them on subscription cable networks (like HBO, Showtime, etc) and late at night.

I did see him live, once. He came to Williamsport and hubby and I got tickets - we somehow ended up in the fourth row. He was in full ranting mode and he moved me greatly, not just with laughter, but he made me feel what it is to be human.

*Risks posting from work*

I'm really bummed about this... Carlin is my all-time favorite comedian, and routinely try to use a number of his jokes and routines, (although considering that we probably have rather different approach styles, that doesn't always work) and he's brought me a ton of laughs over the years.

I had the good fortune to see two shows he did last year, and I remember thinking he didn't look in the best of shape, the age was showing more and more. Still, I thought he'd keeep going forever. I mean, he's George Carlin!

I wish I'd had a chance to talk to him sometime. He was a good guy, and a true comic genius.
