When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops? by George Carlin (2004, Hardcover)

Mark Twain said, "The secret source of humor itself is not joy, but sorrow," and George Carlin, in his inimitable fashion, demonstrates Twain's point by exploring where trouble comes from and why the world is such a lousy place. While most humorists try to skewer with ice-pick wit, Carlin uses a meat ax.

Using his straight-forward style, Carlin guides his readers through a murky world of language that is a much worse joke than anything he could conjure. His opening verbal slavo is worth the price of the entire book. Carlin writes about insurrections, stupidities, political crises, civil disturbances, and other human folly because it's fun.

Hilarious from start to finish, Carlin's literary genius drips from every page. While his outrageous, irreverent humor is not for the faint of heart, it is meat for the free of mind.

The offbeat, brilliant mind of George Carlin shines through. If you like getting to the basics of language and human thought then this one is for you. He had a way of telling a story, that when finished you are saying to yourself, "I knew that, but he says it funnier". I am passing this book on to others so that they too can get a laugh and think a little deeper.
