VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Dick Wilson appeared in more than 500 commercials for Charmin tissue. Exclamation

In 1978, he was ranked the third-most-recognizable American, behind Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. Exclamation

He died yesterday.

Todd, this is a free country. We are reminded of that this very week, as a matter of fact. So you're free to feel/have felt this way.

It's what the founding fathers would want.

Diane, thank-you for posting this. Good old Mr. Whipple. Such an interesting life.

I think the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills is where I would like to go when I'm nearing my best-if-used-by date.

Sigh. As if.

Alas, Mr. Whipple has gone on to play his ultimate "roll". He will ply his way into that great loo in the sky where his slate will be wiped clean. A little squeeze from us Mr. W., and may your journey be the softiest!

Bruce,
You is too much, brother. You even rendered Todd speechless. Ive racked my brain for just one more tissue pun and came up empty, you've gotten them all.

Wow Bruce- they should have you speak at the memorial!

I have an Aunt named Charmin. She's the only person I know who didn't love Mr. Whipple.

May he rest in peace.
