Ed doesn't do anything particularly outrageous, but he is well-known
in the Bay Area for his fast-talking, "we want to help YOU get started
in the credit world!" monologues.  (the pitch being they would offer
credit to anyone...)

So popular did he become, that I heard him on a local classical music
station doing a commercial for the (?SF) Symphony, in his usual style:
"we want to help YOU get started in the symphony world...!"

Yes, this really happened.
