Bill Hicks used to finish his shows with this:

Life's like a ride in an amusement park. We go on it and think it's real 'cause that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.

Some have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."

And we kill those people. "Shut him up. I've got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? We let the demons run amok.

But it doesn't matter because, it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love.

and sometimes when its the most fun it makes you puke

And sometimes its so scary you wanna get off mid ride..........but it's best to stay in, stay buckled and ride it out

And sometimes it's so good you never want to get off.

and sometimes if your strap is loose you fall off

Please keep your hands and arms inside while the ride is in motion!

then ya just rinse your mouth and get back on the ride again..

"Why's Denis Leary famous and Bill Hicks isn't?"

'I don't know. Why?'

"Because there's no cure for cancer."
