Reading a book by George Carlin is basically just like watching him perform live. Actually, it’s also really similar to having a conversation with my Uncle Jeff, but most of y’all don’t know him so we’ll go with the first comparison. It’s rapid-fire jokes, littered with swear words and politically incorrect observations. Some of the jokes will make you snort, some will make you roll your eyes, but by the end…you’ve had a good time.
Napalm & Silly Putty includes such observations as…
“Did you ever eat a whole box of cookies right in a row? Did you ever do that? I don’t mean take them into your bedroom or something. I mean open them right up in the kitchen as soon as you get home from the store and eat ’em while you’re standing there? Just stare at the toaster while you’re eatin’ a whole goddamn box of cookies?”
and
“A cat will blink when struck with a hammer.”
It’s funny, irreverent and completely inappropriate. Not a bad way to spend a few hours.
