Here's the quote from Rabbi Boteach:
"Michael was a very spiritual, religious man. He was not only a Jehovah's Witness, he was a missionary. ... He used to knock on people's doors selling wash towels. Then suddenly he fell out with the church."

I bet he also sold the Asleep! rags along with the washtowels. When I was a witless, that was standard practice.

Also note that he said that Michael sold the wash towels, not "placed" them.
