Unless I've gone totally delusional on this, he most certainly did. Halfway into it I knew who and what he was talking about because I had read it here on FR so I knew where he was going with it. In his inimitable style, he saved naming the mystery character for the end of the story, like he so often does.
If I think of it tomorrow I'll call our local radio programming and ask if they remember anything about it. They have regularly run contests where we listen to Paul Harvey five days straight and save the subject. If they get all the days right, they go into a special drawing.
Now I will need to definitely do a reality check ;-). And if that doesn't work, I just might call the afternoon talk show and ask if any listeners remember it.
Check out the link I put on reply No. 15. It's a site devoted to de-bunking Urban Legends, which, as you know, are hoaxes.
I had the same reaction. I am almost sure I heard this on Paul Harvey and not too long ago.
