Still hankerin' for some more Charley? Here's Charley's Myspace page. And here's a lovely little biography and salute to Charley and Cliff Arquette, the man who portrayed him.

Also, he's Patricia Arquette's grandfather and the original Mrs. Butterworth. Put that in your corncob and smoke it!

But I still don't know what his secret to making millions was. Perhaps the world will never know.

Something tells me the secret was that the only person making the million bucks was Charley Weaver.

Actually I'll bet the "chart" and the penny the ad mentions has something to do with something I remember from an old Richie Rich comic. In the story, Richies cousin Reggie hires a new butler . The butler says he'll work for a penny the first day but makes the condition that Reggie double his pay every day. Reggie agrees despite Richies warning. Of course, the penny rapidly turns into a fortune. I think that story was one of those semi urban legends that got passed around.

Note that the ad only says that it's possible to run one penny into millions; it doesn't promise that it's gonna happen.
