I'm a big fan of George Carlin. He's been around for a long time but he tends to focus much of his comedy on everyday, real life observations. Granted, some of them are not part of my reality, but they still make me laugh. His newest book is When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops and it's at the top of my current recommend list. I laughed and laughed and just when I thought I was done laughing I laughed some more. I'm reading it through again, to pick up on things I missed the first time. He has observations and ramblings on such subjects as:
Tips for Serial Killers: a general how-to chapter.
Euphemisms: how America has softened language to be more politically correct but basically have succeeded in avoiding reality.
Schmuck School: be a CPS, a certified public schmuck.
True Fact(s): A guy somewhere in the Midwest was sued for having too many Christmas lights on his house. Happy holidays.
My favorite line from the book:
(page 261). "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."
Buy it, read it, share it with friends. Anyone local to OKC is welcome to borrow mine.
