We have lost a children’s television star. A classic. Soupy Sales has died.
Soupy Sales was silly. Bad puns. Risque jokes that the kids wouldn’t get, but the adults would. The crew would crack up in the background. White Fang. Black Tooth. The numerous pies in the face. At least now he can joke again with Clyde.
Here are some classic words of wisdom:
Show me a jacket for an octopus, and I’ll show you a coat of arms.
Show me an English policeman risking his life, and I’ll show you a Bobby Darin.
Show me a novel that is caught in a tornado, and I’ll show you a book that is Gone With The Wind.
Never hit a man when he’s down. Kick him, it’s easier.
Mr. Sales, Mr. Sales, you’ve got to help me. It’s my wife. She thinks she’s a piano.
Did you take her to a psychiatrist?
No. Do you know how much it costs to move a piano?
