Practical jokes
It was fun to read that story about Mister Schwamp again. Those who are good at anagrams will have noticed immediately that there was something very familiar about the letters in Patch S. Wimmers and Camp Threw Miss. These are rearrangements of the letters M-I-S-T-E-R-S-C-H-W-A-M-P. As to the anagram of Poi Falls OR I will leave that as an exercise to whoever is reading this. New trivia question: name an example of a time in Mayberry when someone played a joke on someone. I don't mean TELLING a joke (like when Howard was on the talent show) but PLAYING a joke on somebody. For starters, there are four separate jokes that Andy played on Barney while Barney was asleep on the job.

Practical Jokes
My favorite was when Andy put Barney's covers under the bottom of the bed while he was napping. I also liked it when Andy sent Barney outside to look for Blackie. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
