Here we go again . . . George Carlin's hilarious When
Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? offers his cutting-edge
opinions and observational humor on everything from evasive
euphemistic language to politicians to the media to dead
people. Nothing and no one is safe! Despite the
current climate of political correctness, Carlin is not
afraid to take on controversial topics: --Carlin
on the media: The media comprises equal parts business,
politics, advertising, public relations, and show business.
Nice combination. Enough bull for Texas to open a chain of
branch offices. --Carlin on the battle of the
sexes: Here's all you have to know about men and women:
women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women
are crazy is that men are stupid. --Carlin on
hygiene: When did they pass a law that says the people
who make my sandwich have to be wearing gloves? I'm not
comfortable with this. I don't want glove residue all over
my food; it's not sanitary. Who knows where these gloves
have been? --Carlin on evasive language: Just to
demonstrate how far using euphemisms in language has gone,
some psychologists are now actually referring to ugly people
as those with "severe appearance deficits." Hey, Doctor.
How's that for "denial"? --Carlin on politics: No
self-respecting politician would ever admit to working in
the government. They prefer to think of themselves "serving
the nation." To help visualize the service they provide the
country, you may wish to picture the things that take place
on a stud farm. The thinking person's comic who uses
words as weapons, Carlin puts voice to issues that capture
the modern imagination. For instance, why are there Ten
Commandments? Are UFOs real? What will the future really be
like? This brand-new collection tackles all that and more.
In When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
Carlin's razor-sharp observations demolish everyday values
and leave you laughing out loud -- delivering exactly what
his countless fans have been waiting for.
