5.75"x8.5" 258 pgs. Black boards w/gold foil letters to spine. Book design by Spinning Egg Design Group. Jacket photos Deborah Feingold. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped (no price) & unmarked. Tone to spine of DJ & small mended tear. Secure ship w/track #. With his signature dark and daring humor drawn from everyday life, the world at large, and the vagaries of the English language, George Carlin offers his creative finest in The Best of Braindroppings. From the random braindropping ("When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") to favorite oxymorons ("holy war," for one), and from questions to ponder ("Why are there no B batteries?" for instance) to his classic monologue comparing baseball and football, this little book packs in a lot of laughs.

A book of original humor pieces by beloved comic George Carlin. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other verbal ordeals, Brain Droppings is infectiously funny. Also included are two timeless monologues, "A Place for Your Stuff" and "Baseball-Football."
Readers will get an inside look into Carlin's mind, and they won't be disappointed by what they find:
- I buy stamps by mail. It works OK until I run out of stamps.
- What year did Jesus Christ think it was?
- A tree: first you chop it down, then you chop it up.
- Have you ever noticed the lawyer is always smiling more than the client?
- I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed.
- If you ever have chicken at lunch and chicken at dinner, do you ever wonder if the two chickens knew each other?
Carlin demolishes everyday values and yet leaves you laughing out loud.
