Following his two New York Times best sellers, Brain Droppings and Napalm & Silly Putty, comes George Carlin’s third audiobook, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, a riotous journey through the mind of one of America’s premiere comic observers.

Ranging from his absurdist side (Message from a Cockroach; TV News: The Death of Humpty Dumpty; Tips for Serial Killers) to his unerring ear for American speech (Politician Talk; Societal Cliches; 13 Sections of Euphemisms) to his unsparing views on America and its values (War, God, Stuff Like That; Zero Tolerance; Tired of the Handi-crap), Carlin’s legendary irreverence and iconoclasm are on full display as he vainly scours the American landscape for signs of intelligence.

He also has a silly side:

  • You know what kind of guy you never see anymore? A fop.
  • A good motto to live by: “Always try not to get killed.”
  • I’ve never seen a homeless guy with a bottle of Gatorade.
  • A lot of gay men stay in the closet because they’re interested in fashion.
  • I have an impersonal trainer. We meet at the gym, we don’t talk, he works out alone, and I go home.
  • Here’s something you can’t do by yourself: practice shaking hands.
  • When it comes to God’s existence, I’m not an atheist and I’m not an agnostic. I’m an acrostic. The whole thing puzzles me.
  • Good news for senior citizens: Death is near!
  • O.J. Simpson has already received the ultimate punishment: For the rest of his life he has to associate with golfers.
