Dick Wilson, far better known to millions as "Mr. Whipple" died Monday. He was 91.

He had become an advertising icon, admonishing people molesting toilet tissue in his store the pleas of "Ladies! Please don't squeeze the Charmin!" The humbled viewer then finds out that Mr. Whipple is himself a closeted Charmin squeezer.

91 years old! Apparently he earned some good kharma by protecting the TP from evil molesters.

This story shocked me, since I thought that Mr. Whipple had passed on years ago.
