| What is the Fez Factor? |
The Fez Factor Theory
was developed by Lewis Moss in 1978. It
simply states that if a dictionary contains pictures, it will
almost always feature an image of the fez. If the image is an
illustration, it will usually feature an Arab man with a mustache.
If however, it is a photograph, it will usually feature an elderly
caucasion with the famed Shriner's fez. Recognized the world
over as a legimate theory, The Fez Factor has facinated
thousands and entertained millions. Join us as we venture into
this little known realm. Welcome to FezFactor.com - and may the
fez be with you!! |

| To whom it may concern,
I was a recent visitor to your website, Fez Factor.com and I must say that I
was bedazzled. Having been a fez fanatic myself, I was thrilled to see
someone else shares my fascination with the world's greatest tassled head
adornment.
I would like to take the opportunity to update you on some "Fez history".
Remember the 60's hit TV sitcom "The Addams Family"? Well, my sources tell
me that the lovable "Uncle Fester" character was actually based on a real
life Addams family member that was of Arabic origin nicknamed "Uncle
Fez-ter" because of his unusual practice of donning a small fez on his bald
pate each day as he left his home. Apparently, network executives at CBS
buckled to the pressure of being "politically correct" by not including this
info in the actal show, thus robbing millions of Americans the opportunity
to appreciate the fez as we do.
The real Uncle Fez-ter sadly passed on in 1987 of unknown causes.
Apparently, he occasionally attended some "Addams Family" reunions but was
never given his proper due. He died a bitter, faceless man having never
been acknowledged for his influence on American Entertainment. Perhaps you
could give him some "props" on your site.
Thanks,
Joe "Fez" Thrunay,
New Rumley, Ohio
