WHAT line ea

  The referenced article reproduces (!?) a dialogue about a certain
English slang word that needn't be repeated here, and says that the
author is unknown.  Since I heard this dialogue almost verbatim in
1977 or '78 in Stockton, CA, I think I can confidently say that the
author was George Carlin.  Oh, by the way, there was much more of the
same, all of it excellent and perceptive and incisive as Mr. Carlin
always was in his earlier days....
