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.AUTHORBIO: Ted L.
