A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

The guy (George Carlin) who told everyone that, "it's a big club and you ain't in it" was in that club. (self.showerthoughts)

George Carlin - It's A Big Club & You Ain't In It!

George Carlin had a net worth of $10 million at the time of his death in 2008.

Adjusted for inflation that would be $14,653,441 in 2024.

The minimum net worth of the top 1% of households is roughly $13.7 million.

So, Carlin was in the "big club" of the 1%.

That's not a shower thought by a long shot. And you're a class traitor. Go away.
