To begin, I would like to acknowledge those of you who read Brain Droppings. It did better than I expected, and I want to say thanks. By the way, if you haven't read it yet, fear not. You can read this first and then rush out to the store to get Brain Dropping. The two are not sequential.  For those who did read the first book, you'll find this is the same sort of drivel. Good, funny, occasionally smart, but essentially drivel. Thanks also to my boyhood friends from 123rd street and Amsterdam Avenue ho listened to my street-corner and hallway monolouges when I was thirteen and gladdened my young heart by saying, "Georgie, you're fuckin' crazy!" Most of all, thanks to my editor, Jennifer Lang, for her patience and suport, and for putting these thoughts of  mine in order. --- George Carlin
