Napalm and Silly Putty
by George Carlin

I am sorry to report that this incredibly profane book is quite funny. Well, I only report that because I have always liked George Carlin. But perhaps this book is neither suitable nor funny for the current generation. But in either cases, they'll have to find out for themselves because this puppy is heading right back to the public library where it belongs.

On the one hand, it isn't really fair to call it a book, just because its meandering one-liners and stoned-out raps fill up many pages and happen to fall between the two cardboardish covers. On the other hand, the Great Carlin does have a way with wondering about words, so... maybe if he were only more... serious? Nawwwww....

This book gave me one great fantasy idea and one great fund-raising idea that I have already put into practice. Plus which i laughed out loud more than several times. So what do you want from a book, anyway? Inspiration?

Explode/Bounce on over to amazon.com and combine Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin.
