A scene I would like to have seen After Aunt Bee wins a trip to Mexico, Barney decides to enter a contest too, and he wins a trip to Australia. Naturally, he invites his best friend Andy to accompany him.
They arrive in Australia and spend the first morning sightseeing, and after a few hours they pay a visit to the Sisters of Mercy Orphanage. It turns out that the Sisters of Mercy operate a small tea shop, so Andy and Barney decide to have lunch there. They ask for coffee, but the nun who waits on them explains that they don't serve coffee, only tea. However, she adds, that it's the finest tea available anywhere in the world. She goes on to explain that the best tea comes from the leaves at the very tops of the trees, and that the abbey has a team of koala bears who are specially trained to climb to the tops of the trees and pick these leaves, and furthermore, the Mercy tea shop is the only tea shop in Australia with trained koala bears, which is why no other tea shop anywhere can offer tea as good as theirs. So naturally, Andy and Barney order cups of this special tea. When it arrives, Barney takes a gulp but is dismayed to see clumps of soggy tea leaves floating in his cup. So he says to Andy ... Wait for it ... "The koala tea of Mercy is not strained." Paul Mulik _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
