Cal Worthington passes
« on: September 10, 2013, 2218 UTC »
Cal Worthington the much remembered car sales man in southern California has passed away.

I have fond memories of seeing his commercials and his wild animals on the TV as I was growing up. He even made it into the sound tracks of a few RRS programs :)

RIP,
Cal

Al, it looks like you're the last of the House of Worthington-Muntz.

You better call Gene Scott's widow about airtime for the Empire. Don't look directly at her Knoeckerens during negotiations, it's how she gets you.
