Something
From the current
issue of TIME:
“Religions are hardy. ‘Many a time
we have gotten all ready for the
funeral’ of one faith or another,
‘and found it postponed again,
on account of
the weather or something.'”
— Mark Twain
Twain was raised
as a Presbyterian
(the Calvinist tradition).
This year’s Twain award
for humor went to
George Carlin,
raised in
the Catholic tradition.
On learning he had won
the Twain award,
Carlin said,
“Thank you, Mr. Twain.
Have your people
call my people.”
