Absurdity unleashed in deadpan corporate correspondence.

If you enjoy a good, belly-shaking laugh that comes from the utterly ridiculous, then "Letters from a Nut" is tailored for you. It's a treasure trove of comedic gold, as Ted L. Nancy's outlandish letters -- and the serious replies they actually receive -- showcase a unique form of humor that can make even the sternest poker-faces crack. The charm lies in the sheer audacity and the bewildering fact that these companies and personalities took the bait, making you wonder about the world we live in.

Description

Who is Ted L. Nancy? He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit...He's the genius inventor of "Six Day Underwear"...He's a stage actor who only travels while dressed as a stick of butter...He is, in reality, a twisted prankster—a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters to corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state. His innocent requests, queries, complaints, demands, and suggestions are so absurd it is amazing they fool anyone—but often the deadpan responses he receives are even more hilarious: "Dear Mr. Nancy, It is not often that we receive such enthusiastic support for the paper bag." —The Paper Bag Council"On behalf of Greyhound, there should be no problem traveling while in your butter costume." —Greyhound Bus Lines"I look forward to working with you to create a better future for this great nation." —Vice President Al GoreLetters From A Nut is an insanely inspired, truly madcap collection of Nancy correspondence, a wet-yourself-in-a-public place funny aggregation of official—and officially certifiable—requests, complaints, fan mail and questions that could not possibly have been taken seriously...but, amazingly, were.
