The writing of fake letters has a long history, but nothing can prepare you for the uniquely surreal and charming world of Ted L Nancy. His innocent requests, questions, complaints, demands, and proposals to hotels, airlines, multinational companies, local governments, and department stores are so absurd that it's amazing they convince anyone - but often the serious responses are even funnier. Ted wants to know if he can join his big toe with his nose, why his wife left him while he was in a coma for another man in a coma, and if he can complete his marriage at the church's administrative office. He writes to hotels saying he eats their mattress. He writes to casinos asking if his band "Fat Beatles" can perform and if he can stay at their hotel dressed as a bladder. Absolutely addictive and funny: Dear Business License Department: I want to apply for a business license in your city... I operate the SOUP & SLEEP RESTAURANTS. You can either order soup or sleep. A hostess will welcome you, and you will say: "I would like to sleep." She will lead you to a table where you can take a nap. Dear Dog & Sea License Department: I will present the play "MARK TWAIN WITH TOURETTE SYNDROME."... Let me know the arrangements I need to make to store the anchovy tank in your harbor. Thank you. I expect a large crowd.
