Permits:
I am writing to secure a permit to build my restaurant: “THE RIDICULOUS BELLY.” The entire restaurant will be shaped like a large man’s stomach.
I am the former owner of Imbeciles, fine Italian dining. It’s part of a chain. This is Northern Italian fare including squid braccckkk.
Prior to that I owned Morons, home cooked Irish food. Our specialty here was boiled potatoes, deep fried cabbage blart, and rum strips. I also managed the Captain’s Belch, seafood fare. We specialized in fish ticks. Also, for 1 year I was day manager of Putz’s Deli. This was next door to a sewage treatment plant. We lasted only 3 months.
In addition, I may open Dolt’s ice cream shop with my partner Letis Dullard. He will sign ALL papers.
Please tell me what permits I need to start building “THE RIDICULOUS BELLY” - Broken Arrow’s premier dining spot for scrod in a cup. If I have not reached the correct department, could you please tell me who I write to?
Thank you,
Ted L. Nancy

Dear Mr. Nancy.
Building permits forms may be obtained from the Building Permit Department, Room 106. Permits may be issued after considerable review of all necessary forms, one at a time of course.
I am unable to begin processing your request at the present as I’m not sure if you meant your restaurant called “The Ridiculous Belly” would resemble the stomach of a large man or a large stomach on a small man. Please clarify this when you submit for a permit. A photograph showing the type of building you wish to construct would be of assistance.
If you are considering the possibility of other fine dining, I feel that Broken Arrow would very likely reject quite soundly an Italian restaurant that served squid braccckkk. But, I do think that Broken Arrow would welcome with smiles and open windows an Irish food establishment offering a menu which you describe as boiled potatoes, deep fried cabbage blart and rum strips. A Captain Belch’s Seafood fare franchise, with somewhat fresh stock available, would be another fine establishment for this area.
I am somewhat puzzled by the problem you experienced with the site you chose to locate Putz’s Deli, but if you would like to try it again there is a location available in South Broken Arrow.
Broken Arrow already has a very fine line of ice cream available still frozen, but please assure your partner, Letis Dullard, that Broken Arrow will do everything possible to provide multiple copies of all paperwork for an original signature.
Please be assured that not all roads lead to Broken Arrow, only the most traveled ones.
If we may be of further assistance, please contact the City Planner.
Sincerely,
Allen Stanton
Chief Building Inspector

Dear Mr. Dick Butkus,
You are one mean guy. I’ll bet with your name, you really got in a lot of fights as a kid. But look what happened. You are the toughest guy to ever play football. My last name is Nancy, so I’m a pretty tough guy too.
As a young man, a friend of mine catered several Chicago Bears affairs, and once let me help serve the food so I could meet some of the players. He’s retired now, so I can talk about it.
Anyway, I saved the spatula that I served you mashed potatoes with, and would love to have you sign it.
Could you please sign it: “To Ted, Dick Butkus.”
I thank you for your time, and eagerly await my personally autographed spatula.
A Fan,
Ted L. Nancy
