What was Goober drinking?
Hi ya'all, I have a question. I was watching "A warning from Warren" this morning and noticed something I hadn't noticed before. ( I could be wrong, as usual :) ) When Goober & Warren are in the diner, Goober orders, besides a peanut butter&tuna sammich, a chocolate shake. When Warren suddenly decides they need to leave, Goober grabs up his sammich & shake and follows Warren out the door. When they arrive at Andy's door, Goober still has his Sammich& a glass but the contents of the glass seems to have changed from a chocolate shake to what looks like iced tea or coke. Do any of you with a trained eye have any imput on that? It always seemed odd to me too, that there were so many customers eating in the diner at that time, and when Warren & Goober show up at Andy's house, he is already in bed and asleep. One of those mysteries I'll never get solved, I suppose.

Mashed Pennies
Hey To All, While on a trip to Chicago last fall, I visited the American Girl Place with the ladies in our group, and Frank toured the Museum Of Science & Industry with the guys. He got a mashed penny from there. I also have one from The Alamo in San Antonio Texas. I guess these aren't "LUCKY" though, since they weren't hit by lightning. I'll have to ask Johnny Paul Jason about that. Since those selfish Giraffe's often get hit by lightning, are they lucky? H, getting hit by lightning wouldn't make a body feel too lucky, would it?

Tale Of Jack
Hey Guys, Thanks to everyone who set me right about Andy's story to Opie. I had been listening to it while I was walking on my treadmill. I guess there was too much noise from it and I wasn't hearing it correctly. Frank listened to it as well and he also thought it said "to eat my bones" I've never heard of the "pone thing" either. I've heard of corn pone, I guess I have a big gap in my education, not growing up in the south. LOL Thanks all, for clearing that up for me.

"Entertaining Opie"
Hi All, This may have been mentioned many times, but I just saw it again this morning and thought I'd mention it anyway. In the episode "Andy And The Gentleman Crook", When Andy was telling Opie the story of "Jack The Giant Killer", he was quoting the Giant when he said, "Fee fie foe fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he 'live, or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to eat my bones!" Of course, that should have been, "I'll grind his bones to make my bread." I don't know if he intended to misquote there to be funny, or if Andy had a slip of the tongue? What do you think?

Bloopers?
Hi all, I'm starting at the beginning, with season #1 of my Mayberry DVD's, and working through. I've a little med. problem so I've had Dr.'s orders to spend time each day on my treadmill. I walk for 30 min. So as not to make it so boring, my darling person has mounted a 10 inch portable DVD player on top of the Nordic Track control panel. I now start all my days off in Mayberry. Today I watched "Ellie Comes To Town." I recently noticed a couple of things I hadn't noticed before. Maybe these have been previously mentioned & it could be I'm wrong but I'll pass them by you trained noticers any way. First, in "The Guitar Player" when Barney brings Jim Lindsey into the courthouse when Bobby Fleet and his band are incarcerated, I thought I noticed, at first one of Jim's sleeves rolled up and the other one wasn't, and then in the same scene the one that wasn't rolled had been rolled up one turn. ??? ( Too much time on my hands? =) Then in the episode "Ellie Comes To Town" Ellie runs out of the Drugs Store calling for help when she finds Andy & Aunt Bee have "broken into the store." Barney is in the squad car parked next to a metal mail box. As he is scrambling out of the car, his door is up against the mail box. As he is trying to squeeze through the narrow opening, the mail box wobbles. Wouldn't a heavy mail box have been secured tightly into the pavement? ( Again, too much time on my hands? ) You All Have A Mayberry Day Danna In Indiana ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Hey to Goobers, I like this one, "You fall down a well, you're wet!" Also, I always get a giggle out of it when watching Gomer and Barney when they are in charge of repairing the bandstand. After reassuring Gomer, there are no spiders under the bandstand, Barney yells, "Gomer, get down there with them spiders and get to work!" I also love watching Barn as he then struts away.

Curious, Curious!
This is to trained noticers: We were watching the episode, "Goober Goes To An Auto Show" (I think is the title?) anyway, in the scene where Aunt Bee, Andy and Opie are in the hotel, and Aunt Bee is standing behind a sofa, she is brushing a coat or possibly a dress and an empty garment bag is draped over the back of the sofa. Goober comes to their door and the camera turns to the door. Only a moment later, when the camera refocuses on Aunt Bee, the garment is no longer visible and she has the empty garment bag draped over her arm. There doesn't seem to have been enough time for the garment to have been put away in the nearby closet. Have any of you ever noticed this? Also, "Weenie Man" We already knew you were "tensed" we noticed your jaw muscles were popping out!

A thousand appologies
Boy! Did I say the wrong word? Sorry Laura Lee if I didn't clearly state what I meant. No harm meant. Gang, when I used the word "brutal" I wasn't meaning to imply anyone said our favorite Dad was such. I meant to say I didn't think him to be overly harsh, which is the word I should have used. I didn't feel him to be acting unusually stern for a Dad and head of the house. But, I do see where the writers were at times portraying Andy's character a little more strongly than in most earlier episodes. You all have apparently analyzed these episodes a little more carefully than I. After I read one or more of your opinions on a particular subject, I then see things I have missed.

I'm So Sorry I broke Your Heart Mother
Hey Gang, I stand corrected. The song in question was NOT the one sang in "Meet Me In St. Louis" as I thought. So keep on searching, to see if it is an actual song. Margaret O'Brien didn't break her mother's heart, she was singing an apology to her mother for "getting drunk!" (she didn't really get drunk, only in the song.LOL) I guess there is a connection of some sort to Mayberry though Huh?

Andy Angry?
I'll "just jump in where I can on this one, and hang on!" I may be just standing up for one of my favorite Dads, but I didn't notice Andy was that much out of line where his patients with family and friends were concerned. As little Opie got older he was needing correction and general "reeling-in" on many occasions. I never felt he was being brutal. In those days as head of the house, a man tended to exert a little more authority than in today's world. He took his leadership role more seriously, and if that meant raising his voice a little, then so be it . He felt it was his duty. Just my take on it. On another subject, Didn't young Margaret O'Brien sing "I'm Sorry I Broke Your Heart Mother" In the classic film, "Meet Me In St. Louis"? I'm pretty sure she did, but I can't recall much of the lyrics to it. Boy! she was a little "spook in that film!" I always get a kick out of watching her in it. We have the old VHS of it and it is in black&white. I don't know if it's been colorized. You All Have A Mayberry Day!

"Front Porches"......Outstanding!
Hey To Goobers! Well, when I was a kid, my family didn't have a front porch. I did however have a good friend who had a quite nice front porch. Since I spent almost all my waking hours at her house, I was able to take full advantage of their front porch. That porch had two large swings on it. I was the kind of kid who got motion sickness just turning around to answer the door, so I had to have loved being there even though I'd have to endure the inevitable nausea I'd likely be experiencing. (I did) =) We girls each took one of those big swings and whiled away a lot of time there, swapping stories and at times just singing our hearts out. I can still see us, in my mind's eye, lounging in those swings with one foot hung off on to the porch to propel our motion. We didn't have a care in the world at those times, or at least we didn't invite those cares to our "Front Porch Visits" It was on that porch, we planned our day's activities, discussed who was sweet on whom, who we'd like to date... (if we could get him to notice us), what we wanted to be when we grew up, how mean our siblings were to us, wondered out loud if our Moms would allow us to go here or there and such things as which kids or teachers at school were currently giving us grief. We covered a lot of ground while lying on our backs on those swings, across from one another, both of us giving friendly, emotional support to the other. It gives me "Smiles & Goose Bumps" just by recalling those happy carefree days, lounging on that front porch across from my bosom friend we were kindred spirits. In those days, time seemed to stand still while we just enjoyed each other's company! Would I trade those days for anything else you could conger up? You be the judge =) You'all Have A Mayberry Day!

What Charlene Said
Hey Val, It's been a while since I've watched that particular episode but if memory serves me correctly, she said something to the effect, "you sure been well preserved!" I am no doubt paraphrasing, but it went something like that. I loved it when little Charlene chased after and flirted with Andy. Who else could have pulled those scenes off like "our little Maggie?"

Church Hymns
Hi To All ! The talk about "Bringing In The Cheese" brought up a memory of mine along the same line. When I was a young girl, there was a boy in our church, a couple of years younger than I, who usually sat in the pew ahead of me. He was always "cutting up," and every time we sang" I Have Decided To Follow Jesus" this boy would sing out in an extra loud voice, "I've apple cidered to follow Jesus." He'd always look back at me and get me to laughing. To this day I can't sing that song without laughing. When our song director announces for us to turn in our hymnbooks to that song, my husband usually grins at me and I'll start laughing before the music begins. Isn't it odd how after fifty some odd years something like this can still tickle one's funny-bone? "Wonder what causes that?"

Hunting For The Mayberry Cafe
Hey Joshua, I assume you are speaking of the Mayberry Cafe in Danville Indiana. It is on the North side of the square, right on the corner. There is almost always a Mayberry squad car parked directly in front of the cafe. In my mind it is THE FOCAL point of the downtown area!

School Days
Ditto Ken, I too walked to and from school most all of my school days. Third through fifth grade I just walked down an alleyway and crossed one street. We then moved a couple of streets over so it was a little farther but still a rather pleasant short walk.. except in freezing weather when I hastened my pace a little. A few years later we moved to the big city of Indianapolis and I had to be driven to school. My world was almost turned upside down by the shock of all that went with that move. Times change and as you said, not always for the better. I'll forever hold those days of my small home town in my memory as "the best of times!"

Where we dined
Brenda Jo, Boy I wish it had been the Mayberry Cafe where we "partook" of our vittles. It would have been fun to whistle that tune there! We ate in Brownsburg this time. Then too, if we'd gone to that place out on the highway, we could have done a little dancing. Course we're no good at "doing the dip" but then "the old salt and pepper" was away at the cleaners any how.

Family Pictures
I thought I'd pass this little happening along. I thought it was kinda' funny! We have relatives visiting here in Indiana from New Mexico. About thirty of us got together in a restaurant for vittles and visiting. We had a nice room all to ourselves and when we'd finished our meal, my darling person scrunched us all together for "family photos." We stood together waiting with goofy grins frozen on our faces while the appointed camera person snapped two shots each with maybe eight or ten different cameras. That being finally done, someone said, "hold it a minute, we've got a video camera too." Sooo, we stood still while that camera was aimed at us as well. The camera person said, "don't just stand there, this is a movie camera; do something or say something!" Still, nobody moved and you could have heard a pin drop as the movie camera scanned our silent group. Finally I could stand it no more, I puckered up and whistled the Mayberry tune!

Hello Friends, In our hometown paper today, there was an article about a couple fleeing the law. It was a man and wife who had been involved in some kind of "malfeasance." The write-up stated, "They were being pursued by police and were going over 90 mph on a gravel road.That's fast on gravel!"

Hey To You & Your's I was watching, I think, TCM channel the other day. I can't think of the name of the movie, but it was staring, child actress, Margaret O' Brian. Lo and behold, in one of the scenes was "our Miss Ellie!" I hadn't thought of her as being of the same age as Margaret O' Brian but they both looked to be about eight years old.

Why'd He Do It?
Well. I just discussed Opie's job situation with my darling person and he had a different slant on it. He thinks the writers were working on the issue of Andy being too puffed up about his boy. He called it "Andy's Pride"! I can see that. The writers did make Andy out to be a little too prideful there for just a little while. The way they wrote it later on put things to right. Now on that subject It never hurts to take pride in your youngun... just don't be "prideful" Does that make sense? It'd be hard not to be prideful with a boy like Opie!!! Y'all Have A Mayberry Day!

Opie
It's my thinking Opie decided to get fired from the job both to make the other boy feel like he had earned it and also because Opie had been picked over the other boy. If Opie did something to put himself in a lesser light, then the other boy could shine, so to speak. He was being "A Prince Of A Fellow!" Y'all Have A Mayberry Day!

Hey You'all, Before I get into my main post, I do want to say "I'm just as sorry as I can be" for straying and breaking rule #2. My point, I suppose, was despite personal disappointments ( which no one on the digest needs to know of) I could still see what a really great guy Otis was and how good a job Hal did of playing the part! He was one of the best!!! That said, I'm a big AGS fan but I do think my brother surpasses me in that though he is 58 years young he still fanaticizes Andy is his Dad.His wife has asked him, "well then, are you Opie"? To that he looks at her as if she isn't terribly bright and says "No!" So she ask's, "Then is Opie your brother"? He says "Of course not, Opie doesn't have a brother!" HMMM I can't figure that one out, can any of you? LOL As to the subject of real life not being like Mayberry. It's true, it isn't but it really should be and it is possible for life to be more like Mayberry than it is.

Well Dan! I can't believe it, You are possibly the only other person I've heard of who doesn't care for home made ice cream. I was beginning to think I'm Un-American or something. Everyone just raves about their's and when I'm offered a dish of that slushy stuff I try to be polite and say "No thank you but I'm then accosted from every direction and "forced" to say "I don't like homemade ice cream." This always brings on the same reaction. Someone always makes the claim, theirs is nothing like the ones I've tried, theirs is as good and better than "store bought"...

Dito !!!
Hey Guys, not to be critical at all, but folks who have been through it albeit survived, know first hand, drunkenness isn't funny! I too lived through a sad life with a father with that problem. I'm not sure if I will ever get over it's effect. That being said, I absolutely adored Otis for who he was inside. Otis had a great since of humor and a kind heart that did show through in most every scene he was in. It is so sad that in real life as well as the AGS, people allow themselves to succumb to these types things and in so doing, so many lives are effected. I know it is a fact, every town does have at least one individual who could qualify as "The Town Drunk" that made Mayberry seem even more real to us too bad it was written to be considered funny. Having said all that I will always love Otis! You All Have A Mayberry Day!

Mayberry Moment
Hi You'all I just want to share another Mayberry moment. Frank and I went in to town today to visit his Uncle and Aunt. Their daughter from Texas is visiting here in Indiana and we wanted to get in some visiting time with her. While we were en rout to their place the sky got really dark and it started to rain, buckets full ! I mean it was a gully washer ! I told Frank I wasn't getting out of the car and walking in to his Uncle's house in that downpour. I said we'd have to find something else to do till the rain slacked up. In a little while I noticed we weren't on the right street, in fact I didn't even recognize the area we were driving in. I asked Frank, "Where are you going"? His answer? "I'm looking for the Duck Pond !" We never did find it. I'm not sure there is one in that "One Horse Town"!

Going Home
Hi You'all, Hey Ken, don't stop sending these kind of post. It's wonderful to hear things of this nature. Just about the time I get to thinking, there's no one left who is led by there heart, I'm pleasantly proven wrong. What a truly sweet thing to do, "mixing up" the soil as you did. You may have mentioned but I don't recall, is your mother still living? If so, I'm sure she would've said "You're a good son Ken!" I'd like to go home again too. My little home town is still a small Mayberryish town. I know, in reality, one can rarely go home again but it is fun to think about it. I've often said, I'd like to go back home, buy the property our old rented house sat on, build a nice modern house there and just live out my retirement years being comfortable but able to for the rest of my life to roam my much loved streets. I've written a poem about those streets and how I loved them. I agree with Aunt Bee of Orlando about Randy Davis' post about his teens watching TAGS! "More Power To Ya" kids!!! Keep on lovin' Mayberry! Hey Doug, I was thinking about what you said about the color in the season #6 disks. I do recall remarking that the colors seemed brighter too. As to the color green, several years back the the folks were painting almost everything green. (well, maybe not their kids LOL) Green was a favorite back then. I don't know if that's the reason for using more green in those episodes or if it is because green tends to be a soothing color. If the intention was to sooth us while watching TAGS, "I Appreciate it" but I'm already soothed just watching TAGS whether color or black&whites! You 'all Have A Mayberry Day!

"Hound Sound" ?
Harriet, I have noticed that some of the younger folk tend to relate our older songs with cartoon shows. That's no doubt still another sign they are younger than I. I'm no doubt old enough to have possibly shaken hands with the authors of said melodies. LOL TAGS incorporated many of the oldies into the various episodes and that tends to make them even more special to me. We've watched all of our season # 6 episodes and I now feel sorta like I did when I was a kid and I had eaten all of my candy too quickly. I would then wish I had eaten it more slowly so I'd still have some to enjoy. (of course we can run those TAGS episodes again&again) Can't wait till season # 7 comes out!

Mayberry moment
Hey fellow Mayberrians, We took our granddaughter to lunch this past Sunday. She is a sophomore in high school. She told us in one of her classes they had a quiz and at the end of it there were several questions tacked on for extra credit. They were all related to "The Andy Griffith Show" She was the only one in the class to get all of the AGS questions correct! I was so proud of her I felt like crying! LOL I also felt an immediate respect for this teacher whom I had never met! You-all Have A Mayberry Day !

Hey fellow Maybarrians, I was watching TV Land last night and they were airing the episode "Good-Bye Dolly" I'm not necessarily a trained noticer as are some of the rest of you but I did notice when the milkman brought in the Taylor's milk, he put two bottles of milk in the fridge and left without taking any empty bottles with him. We were even able to view the outdoor scene and he didn't pick up any empty bottles out there either. When we had milk delivery back in the fifties our milkman took our empty bottles after leaving the full ones. Course, we didn't have our milk put in the fridge by our milkman. I guess that was a perk one could only expect if one lived in Mayberry! You all Have A Mayberry Day!

Barn/Thel/Nettie
In regard to Barney's quickly turning to another girl after learning of Thelma Lou's marriage, I really feel that after showing how excited he would be to see her again and then seeming so disappointed when he thought she wouldn't be there, he had shown how much he still cared for her. It was embarrassing to him that she had not only married someone else but was apparently happy. It was a shock and it hurt... so when Nettie gave him attention, it was his chance to save face and more or less tell anyone watching... "hey, Ole Barn is doing just fine, he's still attractive to women!" "The Tears Of A clown" fits the occasion very well! That is my take on it anyway. Yuall Have A Mayberry Day!

More News About Barney
Hi You'all' In a recent post, I mentioned "The Indianapolis Star" running a political cartoon of "Barney" Don Knotts. Our local paper, "The Lebanon Reporter" ran a cute one today. It is a cartoon strip called, "The Grizwalds" The main character is a huge bear. He is shown watching TV and laughing hysterically and then saying to his friend who is ,I think a porcupine, "That Barney Fife still cracks me up." The porcupine says, "Every Time!"

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 95
Well I guess I'll jump in here and "hang on!"'The subject of Barney's cavorting is too irresistible not to comment on. LOL Though we actually don't know, I choose to think, Thelma Lou didn't know of Juanita and Barney's interludes. Putting myself in Thelma Lou's place, I certainly wouldn't wink at that sort of behavior out of "My Guy" whether I had a ring, bracelet, promise, or whatever. Thelma Lou and Barney had been "a couple" for quite some time. Gomer said "Thelmer Lou & Barney, Barney & Thelmer Lou"! I for one think he was cheating. but as for the reasoning We do know Barney was very childlike in so many areas and he sometimes called Juanita to get even with Thelma Lou after the two of them had had a spat. Other times he called her very possibly when he and Thelma Lou weren't seeing each other as often. He did have that right since they had no commitment. No doubt about it though He was playing a LITTLE STINKER GAME and Barney lost that little game!! There is a lesson thereNo? All in all, you had to love Barney and we all do. As for the writers trying to make it seem humorous when Barney acted in such a way, though it really wasn't humorous, we laughed as we sometimes laugh, out of our children's hearing ,when they do some of the dumb things children do. We knew Barney was heading up a fool's hill and we just sat and watched for his fall. YA GOTTA LOVE HIM ! Yu'all Have A Mayberry Day!

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 92
Hi Yu'all, In reading a recent post regarding Barney's being "fickle"... As Barn once said himself, (Paraphrased) his and Andy's main fault was that they were so attractive to women.LOL About Gomer's knowledge about cars.. As Floyd might have said... you don't work there for that long without learning something about cars! Someone recently mentioned seeing an artist's portrayal of our Barney saying for Iran to "Nip It"... My daughter recently gave me a similar one. It is a political cartoon. A caricature of Barney in full uniform, thumbs in his belt, looking bug-eyed and saying, "I Want Iran To Nip It In The Bud. It looks as if Barn got a promotion, on his hat and badge are the letters UN. This was in The Indianapolis Star newspaper. The artist is a teacher at one of our local Christian Schools. His cartoons are used on a regular basis in this paper.

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 67
Hi, fellow "Barney Fans" I have been reading the many notes written to the Digest as well as other places on the net, in remembrance of Don Knotts. They have all been extremely complementary and so true. What a legacy for any one man to leave behind as he departs this earth! I had one thing to add. (I did mention this when signing the guest book) When Frank& I were bringing our son and his fiance back from Bob Jones university several years ago, we decided to visit the Biltmore House. While on the lower level of the house (in the pantry I believe) I looked out the window and on to a sort of patio. There, to my surprise, was Don Knotts and Tim Conway. They were filming the movie, "The Private Eyes" We were all so thrilled to have gotten that close to two of our favorite actors even though there was NO WAY any one was going to get close enough to them to meet or speak to them. The thing that puzzles me at this time is, in all that I've been reading in the last few days, I haven't seen any mention of this movie in regard to Don. I have heard some say it didn't do well at the box office but still it was one of his credits. My family, by the way, loved it ! Our little granddaughter does cover her eyes when the "Wukalar" (not sure of that spelling) comes on the scene. LOL Just wondering? Also I was remembering, around the time "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" came out, our daughter was about to marry Gary, an up to that time confirmed bachelor. Truly, no one ever expected Gary would ever get married. You may have gotten ahead of me here, at the time when the groom kisses the bride, someone yelled "Atta Boy Gary!" (As in "Atta Boy Luther!") This was all being filmed. The bride and groom have always gotten a kick out of watching it over again. What a lot of really good works Don Knotts left us to enjoy !!! You All Have A Mayberry Day!

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 47
I think one of my most favorite lines in any of the TAGS episodes would have to be when Barney and Gomer were in charge of "Fixing Up" the bandstand. Every time I hear Barney say, "Gomer! Get down there with them spiders and get to work!" I crack up laughing! He had just told Gomer, there were no spiders down there. LOL I also love the lines, Giraffes are selfish and CALL THE MAN ! There are so many it's hard to name them all. I use one or the other of them on a regular basis and do often times get some blank and questioning looks from Non- Maberryists.

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 41
This talk about people slitting their shoes brought back a memory to me. My Dad had crippling arthritis. His hands were both permanently curled into fists and his toes were twisted and curled too. He always went to a health shoe store to buy his shoes. After he got his new shoes home he'd go to work cutting slits in them. This always amused me for two reasonsONE... he could ill afford the prices that store charged.and "B"... why didn't he go "somewheres else" where the shoes were cheaper if he was just going to cut them up anyway He always did it and then took the answer to the puzzle to his grave with him"Bless His Heart" I know he cut the shoes so they wouldn't rub his feet wrong but the part about buying expensive shoes to cut up was and is still a mystery to me. I'm going to leave the whys and wherefores of a few things I do, unanswered too and take the answer to my grave, just so my grown kids will have a few mysteries to solve about me too. I do think I leave them puzzled on a fairly regular basis. If I told them I was thinking of signing up for a trip into outer space, they'd most likely say "you're already there!"

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 33
Hey to Goobers! Hope you don't mind a lengthy post this time I wrote this and thought I'd pass it along. "I'd Choose Mayberry" If I could choose who'd stand by me As sheriff, Paw or friend, Andy'd be my pick of all, "Blood Brothers" to the end! You'd seldom see sheriff Taylor With a gun, for I suspect, Instead of filling you with fear, He as soon have your respect! Now if I chose another one To help protect my life, This other one could only be Our own dear "Fearless Fife!" Barney and his trusty gun Would never be apart. The bullet in his pocket, Is right next to his heart! If I could choose a playmate Who'd be closer than a brother, I'd want him to be Opie Could I choose any other? The two of us might skip some stones At "the old fishing hole" Or some such thing like kids might do, To just enrich their souls! But if I were to try to choose An Aunt who'd care for me, One who'd hug and hold me close, It'd have to be Aunt Bee! Oh, what delicious meals we'd have. For milk she'd give me nickels; But I'd be searching where to hide, In case she might make pickles! And if a town must have a "drunk" Yes one whom all would notice, The fellow I would likely choose Is former lawman Otis! I'd also vote him singing star, "Dipsy Doodle" or "Sweet Adeline" But if I caught him riding a cow, For that, he'd be slapped with a fine! If I were to choose a barber Who can cut sideburns just right, Floyd is your man, if any one can, His magazines are quite out of sight! If I were to choose my Ideal Town, A "Friendly One," if you please, It'd be I know, where the livin' is slow Where I'd live and grow with ease! In my chosen town, with folk so dear It'd be such a sanctuary, Where else could it be, it's so plain to see, I'd be livin' in sweet Mayberry! By Danna Gordon You All Have A Mayberry Day!

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 21
I have already submitted my funniest episodes (well, actually my two funniest) but if we were to submit our funniest scene, I always vote for the one where Barney & Gomer are to repair the band stand to get it ready for a band concert. I can't watch thatun without cracking up! Barney tends to be a better delegator than a nose- to- the- grindstone worker. But then, why would he want to "get down there with them spiders and get to work" when he could order Gomer to do it?
