Geroge Carlin is an extremely gifted writer and observer of the daily situation in our country. He would be right up there with Mark Twain and others, if he could just avoid the generally considered filthy language.
Reading his book is similar to eating a gourmet meal sitting next to an overflowing lavatory.
George, please save your risky language for your comedy acts and bring us books of wisdom that we can all enjoy.

If your a right wing christian this book isnt for you carlin doesnt like your god or any other god for that matter why?Because all gods are imaginary bullsh*t and making fun of them is fun! Besides the bathroom humor was funny also his best book yet get this now and enjoy!

George Carlin is the guy who brought you four-letter words to
Television, and aren't we a better society for it! Wow. I am not
sure why I thought maybe this book would be different, but it isn't.
During the first few chapters, I just kept thinking, this
old guy really needs to grow up one of these days. His mentality
is stuck back in junior high, which is really pathetic. And I am
still waiting for that first laugh in this book. It just isn't
funny. Why do people keep calling him a comedian? I repeat, he
isn't funny.

This book was not that great although certain parts of it were very funny. If you like euphemisms then Carlin has some excellent observations that will make you laugh out loud. Some of the book was very strange and not funny at all - in particular the parts where he talks about certain uncles and the traits they have. It's like Carlin had a random musing that he found funny and decided to use it as filler space. I did not care for his commentary on domestic violence - something that is never funny no matter how you look at it. I wasn't a big fan of Carlin's America bashing either mainly because he makes his living primarily here in the States. If it's so awful he should go elsewhere and reject the profits of us idiots. As far as the religious commentary is concerned, it wasn't that bad really. I could see how individuals who are very devout would be offended, but then again the title and the book cover should clue those folks in that maybe the book isn't for them. Overall, the book isn't worth buying although I'd be interested in hearing the audio version if there is one.

"I read this waste of trees in a friend's bathroom (there was nothing else to read but shampoo bottles). Not a single laugh from beginning to end."

so let me get this straight, you read an entire book....in one bathroom sitting?

they're called prunes, give 'em a try.

or maybe next time you're going for broke, shoot me out a diamond, tight cheeks.
