HankronMy brother-in-law is big practical joker, and he wrote a prank letter to Richard Simmons saying that his mother-in-law (my mom) was way overweight and owned all of Richard Simmons tapes and books and was his biggest fan. The practical joke being that my mom weighs about 105 pounds, walks 5 miles a day and, like most everyone else, couldn't stand the sound or sight of Richard Simmons. My mom received an autographed photo and handwritten letter from Richard Simmons saying how wonderful he thought she was, that he would pray for her, etc and that she should write to him again. While we still think Richard Simmons is weird, we all gained a bit of respect for him. Even my sarcastic brother in law felt sheepish.
