It's rumored that Floridians aren't the brightest bulbs in the house but I thought most everybody has heard about dihydrogen monoxide since it was brought to widespread public attention in 1997 when a 14-year-old student, gathered petitions to ban "DHMO" as the basis of his science project, titled "How Gullible Are We?".

That reminds me of Soupy Sales on channel 5 in New York who said something like this.

"Hey kids, last night was New Year's Eve, and your mother and dad were out having a great time. 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!"

The Soupy Sales Show was broadcast live, therefore, no tape of it exists, and no verbatim transcription of his adlib remarks is available. But over the years people who saw the broadcast and Soupy himself have confirmed what was said. Soupy however wasn't fired over the stunt, nor was his show cancelled because of it. After a two week suspension, Soupy was back at on the air. His show ran for about two more years.
