    "800-325-3535" used to be the jingle for Sheraton Hotels back in the day, and it's still stuck in my head (although I wouldn't be surprised if i got the number wrong.)

    RIP to a commerical legend.

    He always creeped me out a bit, though.

    Real quiet and reserved in an almost threatening kind of way. Like ... what was he doing with those carpets?

    Rolling up corpses? Rolling up corpses he butt fucked just because he was the Empire Carpet guy and he could? Rolling up corpses he butt fucked just because he was the Empire Carpet guy and he was jealous of the Lincoln Carpeting jingle singers?

    I might have gone too far with this analogy.
