This Charmin-g Man...

A day of mourning for those who celebrate both the product and the man:

Actor Dick Wilson, who earned an enduring place in U.S. pop culture for his TV commercial role as Mr. Whipple, the nervous grocer who warned customers "Please, don't squeeze the Charmin" in toilet-paper ads, has died at age 91.

Mr. Whipple's passing leaves us all in the enviable position of being jumped-up pantry boys who do not know our place.
