Re: Granny-shares for sale ...
Soupy Sales on his show told the kids to go into their parent's rooms and mail him the green pieces of paper on Daddy's dresser. The show ended up donating a lot of money to charity because they couldn't determine who the senders were. Many people believe this to be an urban myth, but is a true story.

They are probably still sleeping and what I want you to do is tiptoe in their bedroom and go in your mom's pocketbook and your dad's pants, which are probably on the floor. You'll see a lot of green pieces of paper with pictures of guys in beards. Put them in an envelope and send them to me at Soupy Sales, Channel 5, New York, New York. And you know what I'm going to send you? A post card from Puerto Rico!" |

Re: Granny-shares for sale ...
thanks, I couldn't remember Soupy Sales's name for the life of me and couldn't reach anyone old enough to remember. I used to be able to recall these names without trouble now it has become difficult. Getting old is frustrating.

Re: Granny-shares for sale ...
So these kids:
1.) Could figure out how to address/stamp an envelope 2.) Had means to mail it without their parents noticing it in the outgoing mailbox 3.) Don't have any concept of what money is 4.) Kept it quiet. Add me to the list of people that not only think it's an urban legend, but an urban legend you'd have to be stupid to believe. |
