This guy is awesome. Case in point; He writes to Degree Antiperspirant; "...It says that your deodorant 'keeps Your Underarms Cool and Dry'. Then I look at a package of Rigatoni Parmesan cheese and it says "Store in a Cool Dry Place" What gives? I'm confused. Should I store my Parmesan cheese under my arms?'

The only reason I don't give this five stars, is because the letters he gets back from the companies he writes to are mostly bland corporatespeak. Guess they didn't know a good thing when they saw it. ( )

Three volumes of Ted L. Nancy letters may be just one too many. While the content of Extra Nutty: Even More Letters from a Nut remained amusing, I didn't laugh nearly as much at these as I did at the letters in the first and second collections. I should probably have allowed more time to elapse between readings, maybe my feelings are the simple result of a slight Nut overdose.

Jerry Seinfeld (the assumed author of these books) provides the "backword" to this one, in which he writes his own Nancyesque letter to Mr. Nancy.

Ted L. Nancy (who is very likely Jerry Seinfeld) is always a hilarious way to spend an hour or two. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312261551, Hardcover)

Welcome to the world of Ted L. Nancy. Some have called him inspired, some have called him a goofball, and many have wondered who Ted really is. All we know is that Ted loves to write and it shows-Extra Nutty! is chock full of nut, a record of real live correspondence from America's favorite pen pal to a cross-section of this great nation. Extra Nutty! is bursting with all new letters showing Ted at his looniest.

Take, for example, this:

Dear Business Permits Dept.: I want to apply for a business permit in your fine city...I operate the Soup & Sleep Restaurants. You can either order soup or sleep. A hostess will greet you and you would say, "I'd like to sleep." She will lead you to a table where you can catch a few winks.

Or this:

Dear Helena Ocean & Dog Licensing Dept: I will stage the play "Mark Twain with Tourette's Syndrome.". . . Let me know what arrangements I need to make to store my anchovie tank at your seaport. Thank you. I await large crowds.

Or even this:

Dear Kmart: I have invented a male underpants liner...This liner fits right in your shorts and can be thrown away after 15 weeks. I have been wearing the same pair of underwear for 105 days now and although they feel a little stretchy they are perfectly clean.

Ted's unique way of looking at the world-and how the world responds to Ted's schemes--is captured here in this extra nutty, hugely hilarious collection.
