Lesson 18: More from Fr. Guido

Thursday, January 26, 2006


We last saw the intrepid priest from Lesson 11; now he's back! Er, not quite. This time it's Lazlo Toth, who is another alter ego of comedian Don Novello.

Over the years, Don Novello (writing as Lazlo Toth) wrote several letters to almost every important figure in America and even outside, and what was surprising was that he almost always got a reply, which makes for some hilarious correspondence. Also makes you wonder if company publicists have too much time on their hands.

The Lazlo Letters is now out on paperback, and a sample of some of those letters can be found here.

Lesson: At least 0.001% of stupid letters are fakes, at least.
