[GreenKeys] Purple ribbons

[Don Robert House]

A good piece of advice is to never buy anything that Billy May sells.
Several friends of mine have been burned badly by his deceptive  
advertising.

George Carlin, God bless him, used to love to imitate him and his  
fellow sales types.

CALL NOW!!!

Everyone should realize that the TTY purple ribbons had a tendency to  
stain
the machinery and anything nearby. I recall seeing Model 15's and 28's
that had become completely purple inside and there was no way to get
rid of the stain.  It eventually wears off your skin...but not your  
clothes.

(You won't see Billy May rubbing purple teletype ribbon stains on  
clothing
while doing his informercial demos for Oxy-Clean!!!)
