ON this date in 1979, Mr. Ed died...

1979 - Mr. Ed, the talking horse from the TV show "Mr. Ed", died.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, pals to the end, were there at his side when he uttered his last comment.

Mr. Ed said "Wilbur, I never liked you."

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were so shocked, they never let that story out.

They did go console Wilbur over the loss, but only stayed briefly, they didn't really like Wilbur much either.
