Please don't squeeze the Charmin! (the actor's name was Dick Wilson -- he was 91)

From CNN's obit:

Quote
Wilson made more than 500 commercials as Mr. George Whipple, a man consumed with keeping bubbly housewives from fondling toilet paper. The punch line of most spots was that Whipple himself was a closeted Charmin-squeezer.


I think that'll be my new political affiliation: "closeted Charmin-squeezer."
