Take a look at George Carlin’s classic standup comedy routine about the importance of ‘Stuff’ in our lives and in our homes. This was recorded during his appearance at Comic Relief in 1986 – so pretty old now but just as relevant now, and just as funny, as it was then.
The whole meaning of life is about trying to find a place for your stuff, according to Carlin – that’s all your house is – a pile of things with a lid on – just a place to keep your stuff while you go out to get more!
What’s more the whole self storage industry has grown up because people need a place to keep the stuff that won’t fit in their houses but they still want to keep.
