This routine (although it's television, not radio - you may be confusing this with "I bet you they won't play this song on the radio" from the Monty Python Contractual Obligation album) is on Class Clown. About a year later, carlin did a piece called "Filthy Words" on Occupation:Foole, which added "fart, turd and twat" to the list. The later act is, IMO, actually funnier. dha, who can probably still recite all the carlin albums up through On The Road verbatim... -- David H.
