gosh talk about bringing back old memories, i use to laugh at Soupy Sales tv show . i forget how old i was a teenager maybe, sad to hear that news,

It is sad news, I bought my Dad a Soupy Sales joke book one year, I don't really know about him much, but at the time Soupy seemed to be from my Dads generation and style of comedian so I bought it. He liked the book, but wasn't overly enthusiastic about it.

He liked Bill Cosby a lot, I do too.

I love Bill Cosby.
