Famous for the pies in the face and this particular gem for which he got suspended:
"Sales, who was typically clad in a black sweater and oversized bow-tie, was once suspended for a week after telling his legion of tiny listeners to empty their mothers' purse and mail him all the pieces of green paper bearing pictures of the presidents."
Very much an influence for Pee Wee Herman's kids' show. For those not familiar, here's a decent YT clip. Could be rendered better. (gets better from around 2:30 on)
