In the last week I have sent out around sixty letters. That’s over $30 in postage. If you’re like me, and excited about the relaunch of Jackass Letters, and you are looking for a way to support this project, head over to the Support Page. If you’re like me and broke, you can always just share my content, or sign up for the newsletter you are reading now (if you have already signed up then awesome!).
I figured while we wait for new replies I would share an old letter and a new one that just went out the door.

Dear Car Talk Guys,
First off, can I get an autographed photo of one or both of you?
I also have a few questions, and you’re my last best hope. I already asked the Ringling Brothers, but I guess those guys are too busy, so I thought I’d ask you instead, since I know you’ll have the time!
I am interested in becoming a clown. Even my best friends consider me to be a jackass, I don’t mind makeup that much, and I do like some kids, so I think it might be a good fit.
My girlfriend insists some men compensate for a lack of equipment (if you know what I mean) by driving large cars like a Ford Mustang or a GM Hummer. I tried to reassure her this is why I drive a 2000 Dodge Neon, but this just scared her.
Anyway, this leaves me with three questions: 1, how many clowns can fit in a 2000 Dodge Neon? 2, what is the average size of a clown’s unit? 3, Do I have to send you any kind of picture to prove I can fit in a clown car?
I am just wondering if I should reconsider my career choices.
Thanks,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
p.s. If you’re interested I can send along a picture of my “resume” (if you know what I mean).
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
The above photo was received in response to the letter. There was no written reply.
This letter went out today. Now you can look forward to the reply with me.

Dear Cheese Brothers,
Look, I like cheese curds as much, or probably more, than the next guy, but I can't go through eight packs before some of them spoil. Do they freeze? I mean, I don't know how long a bag of curds stays fresh, but I have to imagine it's weeks, not months, so unless I can freeze some, ordering eight packs is just going to end up with some of them being wasted and no one wants that. Wasting cheese curds should be a crime if it isn't already.
I love friend cheese curds. I like the taste and the texture and I love that they're good for me too. I try to eat healthy when I can and dairy is an important part of your diet. If you have a recipe for fried cheese curds I would love it if you would share it. I'm open to better ways of doing things.
I like my cheese curds hot and gooey. In fact, I know of no other way to eat them. I've tried them right out of the bag, and I suppose they were OK that way, but not like when they are covered in batter and fried. Yum!
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
I am hoping the next update will have new answered content and that I’ll get some awesome replies. I know I am getting anxious waiting. Thanks for waiting with me.
Again, consider sharing this newsletter with anyone you think might enjoy it.
Sincerely,
