Subject: getting out of the car
The production reasons given for exiting the car on a particular side are
certainly true (camera angels, etc.).
But if we imagine for a moment that these are our real friends, and Mayberry
is a real town, there is one more thing to consider.
Years ago, the thinking was that you always exit your vehicle on the curb
side due to safety concerns, that way you don't step out into oncoming
traffic.
Shucks, to get out of your car on the street side is not only unsafe, but
downright silly - O-OOOHH, did that bad tastin' word slip out again?
And take that gun outta your mouth

I think Ol' Barn let every prisoner loose, didn't he? Of course Gomer
recaptured them with light-bulbs! "machine guns-they've got machine guns!"

I bet if Jim Nabors put in his ad, "Gomer Pyle Slept Here", that condo
would sell fast!

Subject: Quiet Sam and "them" baby scales
About Sam's new baby being weighed so quickly:
Remember back in "the Old Days", it seems that most every country lady had
scales
in her kitchen. Why, you might ask? My husband and I discussed that VERY thing
after watching quiet sam and the baby birth episode. The main reason, WE
decided, was back then most all country folks CANNED their own food, and it
was very IMPORTANT that you get the right amount , hence weight, of that food
when you began that long, tedious process of HOME CANNING. My mamaw always
had scales that read high numbers (can't remember exactly how much), and I still
have scales that read to 2 pounds and 1 pound. I guess, it's a hold back from
being a Mayberry-country girl at heart.

<< Did anyone notice that Andy knew the exact weight of Sam's

He may have weighed Little Andy the way the vet weighs our dogs and the way
my husband weighed the big ol' bass he caught. First you weigh yourself on
"bathroom" scales - then you hold the baby or whatever and weigh again.
Subtracting the former weight from the latter - you get the weight of said
object. Elementary my dear Barney.

Subject: Little Andy's weight
Regarding the weight of Sam's new little baby boy,
you'll remember that Sam was a farmer. My guess would
be that no respectable farmer in that area would be
caught dead without a scale of some kind. At least
something that would measure up to around 25 lbs or
so.
Now that would be my idea on where they got the
weight.

Subject: [none]
answer to the question Bread&Butter is, when two people are walking together
and each one goes on opposites sides of something such as a tree, you both
say Bread& Butter to keep from having bad luck, and I am not old as dirt, but
I do remember all the items on the list, you are only as old as you feel and I
feel pretty young at 45 myself.
And when Andy and Barney sits on the front porch talking about going to get a
soda pop, my kids cannot understand why that was such a treat when I was
young, kids now days have so much given to them all the time and just expect
things like drinks, candy and so forth to be here , would be nice to be able
to go back to those days when you could sit on your porch at night while the
kids play in the yard and not have to worry about violence. I really would
love to live in a town like Mayberry. IDEA: Maybe a bunch of us really down
to earth Mayberry fans could form our on little community to retire in
wouldn't that be nice?
Everyone have a great day,
Shelby (AKA Daphane the fun girl)

Subject: An Emmy for Andy?
I've been thinking about how unbelievable it is that Andy Griffith wasn't
recognized with an Emmy award during the run of TAGS. I know there are some
WBMUTBB members who work in the entertainment field--do you think that if us
folks on the Bulletin Board and elsewhere got together, the Academy could be
persuaded to award Andy a Governor's Award (for lifetime achievement)? I
think it's only fitting!

Subject: Floyd's last name
I've been out of town quite a bit lately and may have missed a few versions
of the digest. A couple of weeks ago, the question was asked regarding Floyd
being referred to by some last name other than Lawson. I must have missed the
"final answer". What was the verdict?

Subject: Biology
To: "Randy Everette" Subject: Another Inconsistency
You had said, "Andy refers to frog dissecting in a biology class he and Barn
took
in 1938. Biology is generally taught in high school and in other episodes he
and Barn are said to have graduated in 1944 or 1948, so it 1938 they'd have
been in 5th or 6th grade at the most." I don't know about Mayberry of the
30's and 40's, but in Dresden of the late 80's and early 90's We did both.
In Junior High, we had General Science in 6th, Biology in 7th (where we
dissected a worm, starfish and frog), Chemistry in 8th. In High School, we
had General Science in 9th, Biology in 10th (where we dissected a frog
again) Chemistry in 11th and Advanced Biology in 12th. So, it isn't too far
fetched to think that the boys could have been dissecting in 6th grade.

Subject: different things
Just thinking about how some of the characters personalities or
talents were sometimes 'bent' to fit a certain script. We've
talked about Gomer going from not being able to change a spark
plug to becoming a master mechanic. How about Andy and Opie
being so sloppy? That never seemed to come up before or after
that episode. Or the episode where Aunt Bee buys the side of
beef...ever remember her being that bargain-minded?
On a different subject - can you think of any scenes where
Barney played the straight man???

Reminds me of a funny story I heard the other day: A woman had just
delievered her first baby, and before the nurse put the baby on the scale,
all of the aunts and grandmothers were trying to guess the baby's weight.
The father took one look and said "8 and a half pounds," and when they
weighed the little feller, sure enough, the dad was exactly right. When the
women asked how he could judge weights so precisely, he said "I'm a
fisherman!"
Everybody knows Andy Taylor is one of the best fishermen around, so I figure
that's how he knew.
