If you enjoy this type of humor (I do) then you might enjoy books by Ted L Nancy. http://tedlnancy.com/letters/hello-junk-mail/ameriquest.php .

Don Novello, aka Father Guido Sarducci, has written a few books under the name of Lazlo Toth. They are a compilation of his letters and replies. Some of it is quite funny.

LOL Chas..thanks for the tip!From: Lazlo Toth ...... November 19, 1977
To: Commanding Officer, AIR CANADA

Dear Sir: I recently flew on your airline and I must say I was more than somewhat disappointed! First of all, the stewardess asked me if I wanted to see the movie. I said, "No, thank you." Later, when I asked for some earphones, she said, "I thought you didn't want the movie?" She thought right, I didn't want the movie, I just wanted to listen to some music, I told her. She said the music was only for people who paid for the movie! "Otherwise, how would we know you weren't listening to the movie," she said. How about the honor system? In my country they don't go around accusing paying customers of cheating! I could afford to fly to Canada, do you think I couldn't afford $2.50 for a lousy movie? Besides, that's $2.50 in Canadian dollars -- cheaper still! I saw a lot of people watching the movie who didn't pay for it! Why don't you charge to watch the movie instead of to listen to it? Why can you watch a movie for nothing but have to pay to listen to some records? It's just not fair! Next thing you know, you'll probably be charging people to look at record albums! Also, my tomato soup was ice cold! I thought it was because I was the only one polite enough to wait until everybody got served before I started eating, but when I told the stewardess my soup was cold, she said it wasn't tomato soup, that it was tomato juice! How was I suppose to know it was tomato juice? What was the soup spoon there for then? I wasted two or three minutes eating it like that! Why don't you label those things? If you can label "salad dressing," why not juice and soup? I knew the salad dressing was salad dressing -- what else could it have been -- jello? Come on! Why do you label something that doesn't need a label and not label the thing I mistook for something else? I think that by labeling the soup and the juice and starting free music you can make a giant step towards better understandings between both of our countries. Things are unstable enough without these things getting in the way, too. Your neighbor,
To: Lazlo Toth ...... December 29, 1977
From: A.R. Godbold, Manager, Customer Relations, Air Canada

Dear Mr. Toth: We were very sorry to learn of your disappointment in some aspects of our service during your travel with us in November, but appreciate your giving us your observations. Recorded music is available on some of our flights at no charge; however, on flights where music is provided in conjunction with a movie, it is felt that, in fairness to all passengers, the charge for the movie must be levied on all passengers making use of the earphones. Soup is very seldom served by the airlines, because of the difficulties inherent in its provision, and it is regretted that this was not clarified with you. Thank you for your interest in writing. Yours very truly,

Thanks for the link. I haven't read any of the newer correspondance from
Novello/Toth. He continues to entertain.
