COMIC SALES’ DREAMS ABOUT WWII AREN’T FUNNY

SHARE COMIC SALES’ DREAMS ABOUT WWII AREN’T FUNNY

Comic Soupy Sales, best known for taking cream pies in the face, still has nightmares about his real-life battles in World War II. The 66-year-old Sales served in the Navy during the battle of Okinawa, where the Japanese launched their famous kamikaze attacks. Most painful for Sales is one memory of a B-52 crash into a barracks. "I'll never forget," Sales said in an interview taped for TV's "Now It Can Be Told." "I go over and open the window and I look and I see a B-52 doing this (wobbles arms) and I say, `It's going to hit us.' And we all ran out and it came over us and plowed into the barracks and killed 27 men. I still have dreams about that today."
