When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, George Carlin. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
From the back of the book...
"Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Cliches: 13 sections on Euphemisms) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance), Carlin's legendary irreverance and iconclasm are on full display as he scours the landscape for signs of intelligence.
He also has a silly side:
*You know what kind of guy we don't see anymore? A fop.
*A good motto to live by: "Always try not to get killed."
*Here's something you can't do yourself: Practice shaking hands.
As always, Carlin demolishes everyday values and leaves you laughing out loud."
Humor that makes me think. I absolutely adore George Carlin! He put some of his comedy bits from his stand-up album "A Place for My Stuff" in the book, and I'm sure bits from his other routines, too. A great read.
