Sounded good at the time also On January 1, 1965, miffed at having to work on the holiday, Sales ended his live broadcast by encouraging his young viewers to tiptoe into their still-sleeping parents' bedrooms and remove those "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents" from their pants and pocketbooks. "Put them in an envelope and mail them to me", Soupy instructed the children. "And I'll send you a postcard from Puerto Rico!" :lol:
Can't confirm it, but I'd heard he rec'd over ten thousand dollars for the gag, and really didn't expect it. CBS was pretty angry with him over it. RIP Soupy Sales, from Franklinton, NC.
