I think Mr. Tucker's car was at Wally's because it was towed there and that's where it needed to be when Wally came in Monday morning (after reading Moon Mullins of course!) Watch yer foot, I'm gonna rock forward! -- Ted (Theodoric of York) A tourist couple driving through La Jolla start arguing about how to pronounce the name of the town. So they stop for lunch, and while they're ordering, they ask the cashier, Can you tell us where we are? How do you pronounce it?

Gomer the Mechanic
Gomer must have subscribed to the Learn a Month magazine that Barney took are read about car repairs because he sure learned how to fix cars by the time episode Gomer the Houseguest aired. Everyone in Mayberry came to him for car repairs. For a man who has to get up so early you sure do keep strange hours.

Re: Wally's Service on Sundays
I think it was always understood that Goober took Sundays off but would come in for emergencies. An out of towner stranded under a deadline would certainly qualify as an emergency. And remember, Goober was out on his boat and there were no cell phones in 1962 or Sarah's Mayberry. My memories of growing up in the south saw everything shut down on Sundays--even supermarkets in some areas!--but service stations, they stayed open. I specifically remembered going to my grandmother's house and stopping on the way for gas, Cokes and a few other things, and we usually stayed for a little while because the Texaco on Green Valley Road or wherever else we stopped, was the only thing open. Then again, even now, there aren't too many places open for service on Sundays, not where I live. Dixon ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
