Hurray! Now we can squeeze the charmin rolls and no one will nag about it.
I dunno, I ‘reported’ it on the air.
J/P=?
Yeah, but he always could be seen squeezing the Charmin when he thought no one was looking. A sexual predator if there ever was one, and I’d never leave my Charmin alone with him.
I’m not exactly sure how I’ve come to respond to this now. Maybe I just have strong feelings for Mr. Whipple.
Anyways… a little trivia: Adam of Myth Busters once showed a clip of himself in an old bit as a grocery boy with Mr. Whipple.

Wow. Disregard that. I grabbed this story from the new? feature on the right and took it to mean it was an old, old story missed from last November and… oh never mind.
RBG
Don’t squeeze the corpse.
Oh crap….
He was actually from Canada
Disappointing this story wasn’t linked to a clip of the Whipple commercial; esp the one #4 mentioned.
