Query: Did he really mean this to be funny?

A surprizingly tiresome and unfunny book that is far more annoying and irritating than it is amusing or thought provoking from someone I regard as one of the great comedians and satirists of our time. Don't misunderstand me, I like George Carlin, always have and still do. But the only reason this saw the light of day is because the author happens to be famous. If this was written by an unknown no publisher in the world would have released it. If you don't believe me, or any of the other negative reviews here, do yourself a favor. Go to a book store and browse through this waste of paper and see if there is anything, anything at all that makes you smile or stop and think.I am someone who reads constantly and I can honestly say this is the worst book I have ever read. And no, I am not a right wing religious nut.
