    Mays style was offensive to me and that headset he wore seemed to be a silly prop. His identification with any product was a personal turnoff but a lot of others seemed to think otherwise.

    Yet an incident early in his career gave me another view of the man. When an arch-rival huckster discovered that his microphone was broken, Mays offered him his spare. Such examples of decency are all too rare and should be applauded.

    A skunk doesn’t stink until it sprays you. Usually skunks kept as pets have their glands remove so that they can’t spray.

    But did you see him sniff that litter box and exclaim, “What Odor?!?!” Genius!
