On the heels of George Carlin's #1 New York Times bestseller Napalm
& Silly Putty comes When Will Jesus Bring the Pork
Chops?--infused with Carlin's trademark irreverent humor and biting
cultural observations. 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.
