Have you ever read Letters from a Nut by Ted L Nancy (Jerry Seinfeld)? He made two or three of them as I recall. I own(ed) the first two at least, and read through them. They were amusing letters written to various companies asking stupid questions... It's actually kind of hard to explain if you haven't read it so I'll just post two examples:




So anyway, I was thinking that we could do something similar for fun and post any results you may get here.

We could write to celebrities or contact companies like the book did. Whatever. It could be fun, especially with you brilliant b*****ds.

Anyone interested?

(this idea came to me when I considered writing a "thank you" letter to Tim McGraw for this gem)

SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR THE...



(LOL i should have kept the original with spelling errors - would've added to the irony)

More letters


Special thanks to Mersh

Roffle.

Any interest in trying this out?

Yes...but I don't know when. business is brutal at this moment...

Maybe late next week I can pop one out for you.

( ↑↑↑↑Almost exactly the same words your mom said to me last night↑↑↑↑ )

maybe. any ideas for what corp to write to?

Creative intuition?

I was going primarily with celebreties, just because there is more... material to work with.

You could always write to some food manufacturer and ask questions about roaches... I don't know. I'm gonna brainstorm and come up with a few before I type them and send them out.

I need to mull it over. I have to pick a target and create a persona.

Extra upvotes for the first person to get issued with a restraining order.

You seem like a guy who would get them a lot. ;]

oh the damamge i can do....

Oh, count me IN! (You knew you could count on me, DEP) I will try to get something done by the weekend.

I received a letter from a couple of nuts just the other day:


Dear [my name],

We are writing to respectfully request that you stop using us so much. We're worn out! Honestly, do you ever sleep? We can't keep up with the demand. We're beginning to wonder if dropping was such a good idea after all. Give us a break, or we're going back.

Sincerely,
Nuts

celebrities are played out. unless you plan on writing d-list celebs who would probably orgasm at the sight of fan mail.

you love me, lol... oh yea, can you bring another roll of film out to my car I seem to have left my extras back in Michigan.. and if you have a spare laptop battery that would help ;-)

This may possibly be the funniest writing campaigns to a company ever...

Okay, my letter is coming along nicely. I just need a couple of things. If anyone can PM me with the overall size of a "typical" Pringles can (you know, the one that is approx 10") and the TOTAL height of one crisp, oriented as packed in the can (I'm thinking this is around 1"-1.5") I would appreciate it.

Typical Pringles can/container:

3.1 x 3.1 x 9.2 inches
