Is Kirk Dunkirk insane? Who is he and why do he and his imaginary wife insist on bothering the fine people of Japan and the residents of Buckingham Palace?
Do we really need to know why the CEO of Honda Motors hates human cannonballs? Or if Prince Charles would spank Japanese university girls for a good cause? No one cares how his smoke alarm plays Jackson 5 ringtones or that his goldfish formed a thrash metal band from Syracuse.
In the same, some might say insane, tradition of "Letters from a Nut", "ps. My Bush Pig's Name is Boris," and "The Henry Root Letters", Kirk Dunkirk takes on the biggest names in corporate Japan and around the world in this hilarious collection of ridiculous but real correspondence. If that appeals to you, then get this book and make "F-Word Fridays" one step closer to reality at your office.
Mr. Fantastico, the man who lives in my finger, thinks it's a great idea.

I enjoyed the first half of the book more than the remainder. The joke letters seemed to be getting repetitious. Still, it's worth the read, even if you skim some letters with their answers. Something might catch your funny bone and you just might wind up laughing here and there!As I was reading, I remembered a book from the mid-1990s that seemed similar. Sure enough, it was LETTERS FROM A NUT by Ted. L. Nancy and Jerry Seinfeld. After reading that one back then, I was tempted to write such a book myself. Well, now, after almost 20 years someone has done my job for me! Thanks to this author for that!
I'm not sure about the Japanese "mangled English" pretense in some of these "Letters from Japan." I don't find "English as a second language" twisted sentences that funny.
Overall, I liked this book because it wasn't serious and in places it was funny or satirical. Sorry I couldn't love it as I did Nancy's and Seinfeld's.

Irked by Kirk Nutty Prank Letters from Japan Owen Wade Kirk Dunkirk Scott Linyard 9780615697802 Books Reviews
What if you want to ship a mummy overseas, or find out if your favorite mustard or mayonnaise is effective at keeping centipedes out of your sleeping bag, want to know what risk a Coleman lantern has of exploding in your tent, or hold a swinging singles convention in a Kyoto hotel? What better reason to send off a letter to the appropriate company or government agency or other authority to find out? Writing letters to Prince Charles to sponsor a Spank-a-Thon at a Japanese women's university, a sports club to allow him to swim with his wooden leg while dressed as a pirate, or trying to cajole JTB tourist agency to give him a job as a tour conductor so that he can a play a film role posing as a spy to help stop a communist revolution in Guam... From McDonalds to Pokka Pokka Coffee, no corporation or august personage is spared by Kochi's own Kirk Dunkirk in his complaints about products or attempts to get permission for insane schemes worthy of the Pink Panther or Monty Python. In his exploration of new worlds of bad taste, Kirk Dunkirk does a lot of irking while keeping his mojo working, and this reader laughing.
I've read other humerous books with prank letters, so I expected this to be similar. But the so-called "prank" letters in this one are very immature jokes and really not that funny. So the author wrote a fake letter to a business and they replied... big deal. Some of the things he wrote about *could* have been a real question from someone - they weren't that extreme or ridiculous. I only made it through a few of them before giving up on the book & deleting it.
Could not stop laughing. Great for reading in the bathroom and also the cubicle. Totally think it is worthy of 5 stars!!!!!
This is a funny look at letters and the nut that sent them. Worth a read especially when it's free!
I love Irked by Kirk!!! It's pouring down rain today (all over Japan) and, feeling a little glum, I downloaded , started looking for comedy, and ran across this book. It has totally brightened my day--giving me one laugh after another. The time and effort you put into writing all those prank letters boggles my mind. Who would do something like that?! And the fact that those big companies, and even Prince Charles, actually wrote back is amazing. Their replies are hilarious. Thanks for the laughs, Kirk, Owen, and Scott! Ok, now back to the book....
I didn't get far into this novel before becoming too frustrated to continue. I found much of the correspondence unreadable on my kindle so downloaded the book to my computer. Unfortunately, while it did improve the legibility a bit I found some parts so difficult to read that I gave up. The legibility issue may not occur in the print edition but it is totally unsuitable for eBook format.
Luckily I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book was so funny that I am going to buy the expanded version as well. The thing that made me laugh the most were the letters written so politely and seriously! My #1 favorite was the hotel that had NO reservations. I won't say why they said no because that would give away the joke.
Altogether a great way to chase away boredom and depression.
