Letters from the author with his funny observations or requests paired with the replies from corporations. The best for me were the stadium seating letter, the mannequin letter, and the siamese twin letter.

I read about this book a few years ago and forgot about it.

rureading brought it to the Calgary BookCrossing April meet-up for the humour theme. Already read the 10 letters this afternoon, while waiting for my friends at the theatre!

I'm gonna love this! Thanks a ton!

What if you wrote to the Baseball Hall of Fame offering to donate a full set of Mickey Mantle's toenail clippings? Why, they'd be glad to have 'em--even if you are "a Level 4 bed-wetter." Cooperstown is only one of many institutions terrorized in Letters from a Nut, a collection of crazed correspondence by Ted L. Nancy. The name is a pseudonym, perhaps for Jerry Seinfeld, who wrote the introduction. Seinfeld never comes clean, but the yocks sure sound like his material. And the letters have his prints all over them--who else would write the L.A. Lakers posing as a rabid fan who wears pants with a see-through back end, "for medical reasons"? Whoever wrote it, the book's a real lark. Where else can you meet "Pip, the Mighty Squeak," a man who gambles in a giant shrimp costume, or a corn that looks like Shelley Fabares? Only inside the fevered brain of Ted L. Nancy--whether he's Jerry Seinfeld or not.

This was laugh-out-loud funny in many places, but the author got a bit lazy by re-using the same bit several times on different unsuspecting recipients.

It struck me as funny how fast things get dated, as it was written in 1997 and there are no references to email addresses, websites, etc.

Upon checking Amazon, I also see there were several sequels... Fun.
