RIP Soupy Sales :>(

[Mikey]

So basically,he was Pee Wee Herman before Pee Wee came along?

Kind of, but Soupy was never caught with his Pee Wee in hand

[Mikey]

Worst thing Soupy ever did .......

Now bare in mind, he did this as a joke ......

On air, he told kids to go into their mother's pocketbooks and send him all the funny green papers inside.
If they did, he said he would send them a postcard from Puerto Rico.

Unfortunately for Soupy, some kids really did this and the station got swamped with ill-gotten money coming in.

The only thing the station could do was donate it all to charity and Soupy got yelled at big-time ... he may have gotten fired over it (i'm not sure)
