For more than five years, James Wade, an American businessman living in Switzerland, has been firing off preposterous letters to organizations all over the world, trying to determine whether he can elicit serious replies to bizarre inquiries that are worded to appear as if they may be legitimate. Among the companies he has contacted are Hertz, Listerine, and the Swiss Cheese Union.

A Satirical Trojan Horse!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drop Us a Line... Sucker!: The Prank Letters of James and Stuart Wade (Paperback)
The authors do a masterful job of exposing the humorless self-importance of the subjects of their correspondence. The discerning reader will detect a strain of melancholy and futility running throughout the mirthless, dehumanized responses to the authors' inquiries. Bravo, Brothers Wade!

Simply GREAT !,
By augustocarneiro@netscape.net (Lausanne, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drop Us a Line... Sucker!: The Prank Letters of James and Stuart Wade (Paperback)
For those with a good sense of humor ... this is a must read !! I knew the book just a little before Mr. James Wade came to my school. Then he was my professor in a great management course. You can't imagine how fun and professional this great person is. The book gives perfectly the image of how "Woody" is creative ! Do not miss this hilarious peace of work !!

The Jerky Boys for the literate.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drop Us a Line... Sucker!: The Prank Letters of James and Stuart Wade (Paperback)
Does Mickey Mouse fly and carry a Batman-like utility belt? Why doesn't McDonald's offer jelly with their cheesburgers? And why can't you get bubble bath soap wet? If these are the questions keeping you awake at night, then this book will definately provide some much-needed insight into the workings of corporate America. One of the few books that actually made me laugh out loud, this is a book that everyone with a sense of humor will love
