Billy Mays will be remembered as the man who gave us Kaboom!, Oxi-Clean, the Grip Wrench, Turbo Tiger vacuum cleaner, a hands-free cell phone device, and the Big City Slider Station. He gave that to you and me.

And what did we give him? Maybe $19.95 plus shipping and handling, but it's not like he asked $59.95 plus shipping and handling.

Serious, reports are that he was poised to become Taco Bell spokesman in the near future.

Wow, more news, Billy's shot at National success was in part because of his generosity in giving a microphone to the founder of Orange Glo, whose mic had broken! This act of kindness led Billy to be National spokesman for that company. Something to think about the next time we see the More free stuff....let's do it again! thread!
