My review in 50 words or less...
George Carlin says N&SP is "Good, funny, occasionally smart, but essentially drivel." That's both terse and accurate. The one-liners are the best, but the "Food" and "Time" monologues are good too. Alas, too much is crude, such as "The Humorous Side of Rape". Try the audiobook instead.
