    <![CDATA[What if you wrote to the Baseball Hall of Fame offering to donate a full set of Mickey Mantle's toenail  clippings? Why, they'd be glad to have 'em--even if you are &quot;a Level 4 bed-wetter.&quot; Cooperstown is only one of many institutions terrorized in <em>Letters from a Nut</em>, a collection of  crazed correspondence by Ted L. Nancy. The name is a pseudonym, perhaps for Jerry Seinfeld, who wrote  the introduction. Seinfeld never comes clean, but the yocks sure sound like  his material. And the letters have his prints all over them--who else would write the L.A. Lakers  posing as a rabid fan who wears pants with a see-through back end, &quot;for medical reasons&quot;? Whoever wrote it, the book's a real lark. Where else can you meet &quot;Pip, the Mighty Squeak,&quot; a man who  gambles in a giant shrimp costume, or a corn that looks like Shelley Fabares? Only inside the fevered brain  of Ted L. Nancy--whether he's Jerry Seinfeld or not.]]>

    <![CDATA[What if you wrote to the Baseball Hall of Fame offering to donate a full set of Mickey Mantle's toenail  clippings? Why, they'd be glad to have 'em--even if you are &quot;a Level 4 bed-wetter.&quot; Cooperstown is only one of many institutions terrorized in <em>Letters from a Nut</em>, a collection of  crazed correspondence by Ted L. Nancy. The name is a pseudonym, perhaps for Jerry Seinfeld, who wrote  the introduction. Seinfeld never comes clean, but the yocks sure sound like  his material. And the letters have his prints all over them--who else would write the L.A. Lakers  posing as a rabid fan who wears pants with a see-through back end, &quot;for medical reasons&quot;? Whoever wrote it, the book's a real lark. Where else can you meet &quot;Pip, the Mighty Squeak,&quot; a man who  gambles in a giant shrimp costume, or a corn that looks like Shelley Fabares? Only inside the fevered brain  of Ted L. Nancy--whether he's Jerry Seinfeld or not.]]>
