    When I was a little boy in New York City in the 1940s, we swam in the Hudson River and it was filled with raw sewage okay? We swam in raw sewage! You know… to cool off! And at that time, the big fear was polio; thousands of kids died from polio every year but you know something? In my neighbourhood, no one ever got polio! No one! Ever! You know why? Cause we swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw shit!

    Love Carlin, but this bit didn’t exactly age well. lol

      Well I mean later on in the bit he also talks about only needing to wash: armpits, asshole, crotch and teeth and you’d save time by using the same brush.

      I’m certain if he was alive today he’d rip these morons apart.

      Master Splinter and the Turtles are mutants with super mutant immune systems AND other systems that give them a neutral smell no matter what. We mere mortals cannot compare to the glory of TMNT.
