In Topeka, KS (or was it KC) there is a car salesman who actually got runner-up in a nation-wide contest for the most ridiculous car salesman. His name is Boots Williams and he has a sidekick named colonel Billy who sounds like he garggles with gravel. Such selling ploys include being chased by a bull up a hay stack (no bull at Boots Williams' Ford), running around his car lot naked (but wearing a barrel) and being chased by Col. Billy (they ran out of money by virtue of their low, low prices). So stop by Boots Williams Ford. Take I-70 east and take that SWIIINGIN' Red Bridge Exit! Col. Billy has become very popular in other insipid commercials, too. He has been seen in a barrel in a commercial for the "Inflation Beatin' Eatin' at the Rockwood Smorgasboard", flying (superimposed over background) down the streets of KC for a waterbed commercial.... Where does it end? I hear he's doing a commercial for a wombat-steak house...... Tom Twiss ...!ihnp4!stolaf!twiss
