No, but I enjoyed Price's TV endorsement for a credit card in the late
80s- it showed a zapper crackling away, and ol' Vincent chortling with
glee- then his *wife* joins him on camera and says, "Ever since Vincent
retired, purchases like this have kept him happy," or words to that
effect. Hysterical. In the photo you can see how thrilled she isn't.
