On the March 2, 2006 broadcast of the Late Show with David Letterman (show number 2522), Letterman related an incident about when George broke up with a girlfriend. George was so upset that he broke into the girlfriend's apartment, where he wrote an obscenity across a nightstand picture of Jesus Christ. Understandably upset, the girlfriend phoned the police. The cops went to George's house and confronted him. George denied having anything to do with what was being alleged. When he asked what happened, the cops told him that someone came into her apartment and wrote an obscenity on a picture of Jesus Christ.
