Synopsis
"Here's all you need to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid." Legendary comedian George Carlin rolls out another hilarious compendium of jokes, observations, and essays, mainly focusing on language. "The energy criminals now refer to oil drilling as oil exploration. Instead of Mobil and Exxon, they'd rather you picture Lewis and Clark." Political correctness is sensibly referred to as "America's newest form of intolerance," the Ten Commandments is "a padded list," and Carlin wonders whether "Dale Evans ever yelled 'Giddyup, Roy!'" while copulating with Roy Rogers, although Carlin doesn't use the word "copulating," since he famously detests euphemisms. The profanity laws went all the way to the Supreme Court as a result of his early work, so expect only the most explicit language and iconoclastic thinking.

Industry Reviews
"From the syntax of corporate rebranding (Patagonian tooth fish becomes Chilean sea bass) to the ethics of speechmaking..., bad grammar, marketing lingo, meaningless sentiments, political correctness ("America's newest form of intolerance") and euphemisms all come under serious attack, making this a surprisingly fitting companion--a sort of bad-ass cousin--to Lynne Truss's EATS, SHOOTS, AND LEAVES."

    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.
