Book Review: If Roast Beef Can Fly, What About the Pigs?
Summary: 5 Stars

Jay's father was Italian and his mom of Scottish heritage. As with his stand-up routine, Jay tells us a story about his childhood in detail. A certain episode when his father was using a rotisserie for their beef. Father Leno was an extroverted Italian with a large family. Jay used to love those dinners. Countless dishes of Italian gravy with meatballs, lasagna, noodles with ricotta and so on and on. The entire family would dig in aunts, uncles, cousins, moms and dads. Jay loved to watch his dad cook and to watch the roast beef go round and round, and he wanted so much to have a taste of that juicy beef. The only thing he had was his black, plastic comb. He stuck the comb in the beef hoping to garner some juices from the comb. Unfortunately, the comb stuck in the twine that was keeping the beef together, and well, the plastic cooked into the beef. When the beef was done and the family at the table, dad was slicing the roast beef and hit something hard. All of a sudden a large plastic glop fell out. Jay had to be honest and told his dad that this was his comb and the whole story came tumbling out. Dad threw the roast beef out the window, their dog found it and was in dog heaven while he chewed the beef to nothingness. The pictures are priceless as are the expressions on the family's faces.
