BRINGING THE PORKCHOPS HIMSELF

When Will Jesus Bring The Porkchops? by George Carlin: Well, I had read it recently, though hadn't posted yet, so I guess this is a good time as any.
With the cover a spoof of of DaVinci's 'The Last Supper' with George sitting at the left hand of Jesus (waiting for the porkchops, natch) this book is another of George's irreverent look at life, people, and the English language. Hard to describe, he jumps from topic to topic, much as in his stage show. You can almost hear some of the different voice tones he uses for pieces that were taken from some of his stage bits. And he starts the book with his Modern Man shtick..."I'm a modern man, digital & smoke free; a man for the millennium...'; and now he is truly a man for the millennium, and all ages, his voice silenced but his unique outlook on life most probably will live way past you or I.
So George, I hope you finally got your pork chops, even if you had to bring 'em yourself...
