The End of The Story - RIP Paul Harvey

3894 · 03-01-2009, 11:14 AM

Some 800 years ago, an obscure young broadcaster made a discovery that kept him in Bose home stereo systems and Select Comfort mattresses for life. He discovered that he could perform an amazing trick.

As long as the young broadcaster delivered folksy banalities about patriotism and hard work in a singsong, he could actually string folksy stories past the commercial.

His secret? There were two: keep it as corny as an Iowa August and reveal the subject's name at the very end.

And the name of that youngster was ... Paul Harvey!
