From what I've read about him, he's decidedly, well, um "unique".

I recently read that he has a strange telephone "style", if you will. When he's finished talking to someone,

anyone, it seems, he just hangs up the phone -- No "goodbye", "talk to you later', nothing, zilch.

Apparently, a number of people have found this odd and off-putting. When he was asked why he

does this, e.g. just hangs up at the end of the conversation, his answer was "because I'm done talking".
