George Carlin - Germs, Immune System
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN brings it up as comic relief and as a funny take when immunity, dirt and germs come up.
What it is
A clip from George Carlin's "You Are All Diseased" special in which he riffs on germs, the immune system and white blood cells. It argues that modern obsession with cleanliness is misplaced.
