<div>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 <i>really</i> is. All we know is that Ted loves to write and it shows-<i>Extra Nutty!</i> 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. <i>Extra Nutty!</i> is bursting with all new letters showing Ted at his looniest.<br><br>Take, for example, this:<br><br>Dear Business Permits Dept.: I want to apply for a business permit in your fine city...I operate the <i>Soup & Sleep Restaurants</i>. 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.<br><br>Or this:<br><br>Dear Helena Ocean & Dog Licensing Dept: I will stage the play "<i>Mark Twain with Tourette's Syndrome.</i>". . . Let me know what arrangements I need to make to store my anchovie tank at your seaport. Thank you. I await large crowds.<br><br>Or even this:<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br></div>
