It's too bad that I've gotten to the point that I don't trust any quote attributed to George Carlin. This one actually sounds like he might have said it, but so much BS has been falsely attributed to him that I just can't do it anymore.

I wish some official body would come up with a website of the complete official words of George Carlin so you could easily double check this stuff.

From Shorpy...
Quote:
September 1942. New York City. "First Chinese seamen granted shore leave in wartime America. Chinese seamen on United Nations vessels may now obtain shore leave in American ports. Heretofore, because of the large number of desertions by Chinese crew members, alien seamen of Chinese nationality have been detained on board when their ships touched American ports."
UM... United Nations... in 1942?

Quote:
"As a result of conferences between representatives of the Chinese Embassy, the Recruitment and Manning Organization of War Shipping Administration, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice, Chinese seamen may now be granted shore leave if guarantees are given that they will not desert."
Probably family hostages in China.
Quote:
Lee Ah Ding (left) and Yee Chee Ching, Chinese seamen from a British freighter, try typical American food for the first time. Yee took a hot dog in stride, but Lee refused to have anything to do with this strange foreign food. He did, however, drink a Coke with relish."
Really, a hot dog with relish probably would have been better.

Yeah, wasn't founded til after WWII, was it?

Photo was obviously staged, and apparently over-rehearsed (re: hot dog guy).

I think they're referring to nations united against the Axis powers.

Was the handle "allies" applied retroactively?

I don't think so, but it'd be an interesting thing to tease out. Maybe the focus grouping of "United Nations" didn't go well.

The phrase 'Allied Nations' was used during WWII, I'm almost positive, as well as 'Allied Forces'.

As in "Yesterday, in [insert French town], Allied Nations Forces under [insert American/British military leader] relieved a month long siege yadayadayada".

Yeah, I just yadayada'd World War Two...

This is Conrad Hayer. He is 103 years old in this picture.

Mr. Hayer has the distinction of being the earliest-born person ever photographed. The pic (a daguerreotype) was taken in 1852, Mr. Hayer was born in 1749. He is further distinguished by being the only Revolutionary War veteran who served under George Washington, and crossed the Delaware to Valley Forge, to be photographed.

After the war he moved to Maine, where he lived until he died at the age of 107.
