Don't know if you believe in this stuff, but since we're on the topic of George Carlin...
I read a book written by a medium who discussed certain celebrities in the afterlife. She said that when George Carlin passed, his spirit stood there, dumbstruck. He was a staunch atheist during his life, and he could not believe that "he" still existed after he left his body. When he found words to speak, he said, holding his chin, "Well, I'll be da!?@#@mned!" Well, he wasn't. And loved ones and angels on the other side rushed to his side to greet him, laughing at his response.
How wonderful is that?
