1) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. I´m not going to get into the argument over whether George Carlin´s humor was offensive; if you´re buying his book then you probably know what brand of humor you´re going to get.

"When Will Jesus Bring the Porkchops?" is clearly up Carlin´s alley, but it definitely loses something in the print edition. This isn´t the case for most of his other work (e.g. "Napalm and Silly Putty"), but this time around you get the feeling that he more or less dictated some of his stage routines into a tape recorder, which someone later transcribed.

I imagine that if you purchase the audio version of this one or, if you have a vivid enough imagination to "hear" the book in your mind´s ear, you´ll enjoy it much more.¤

2) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. The book was received well before it was scheduled to arrive. It was packaged nicely and in terrific condition. I am most satisfied with this purchase¤

3) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. Carlin, you will be missed. You were an absolute genius, and always under appreciated.

Rest in Peace.¤

4) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. This is a must-have for Carlin fans. If you don´t have time to read, or don´t know how to read, then buy the audio book. But don´t miss this hilarious and insightful work from the master of intelligent comedy.

I highly recommend this book and audio book.

5) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. I like Goerge Carlin. His comedy that is and I found this book refreshing. His writing is brisk and friendly enough. This book provides an in to the different things that we all know at one point or the other, we did "dare" to think. Some folks will find the "religious jokes" not funny but I figure if I can laugh at myself then I can also enjoy when someone makes a good joke (and that´s just it) about something.

I read the book the first because I saw some review. A couple of years later, I wondered if it had really been that funny and decided to re-read it. It was still hilarious...

Enjoy,¤

6) Hardcover Book When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by Hyperion. 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.¤
