Subject: Ron Popeil Hawks His Last Gadget

Look up “TV pitchman” in the dictionary and you’ll likely see a picture of legendary huckster Ron Popeil. Mr. Popeil has passed away at the age of 86. :\'(

Ron hawked all sorts of products over the years. The Veg-O-Magic, The Picket Fisherman, and even Hair in a Can ;D. This guy sold well over a billion dollars (US) straight into our living rooms. His Showtime Rotisserie alone sold over a billion dollars worth of revenue. 8)

For some reason I thought he died a long time ago.

Weird Al Yankovic had sung a song about him.

Do you suppose his epitaph will read, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"?
If so, at least he was a religious man.
Your Pal,
