Another Old Man Reference

My wife put a warm compress on my head and thawed out my brain cells so I was able to come up with a couple more possible Old Man answers. I know Andy and Opie sang about Old Dan Tucker. And I think maybe Barney or Andy may have referred to Mr. Macabe as Old Man Macabe, but that is just a guess
