For many days now, I have sat here and read all about what a scalawag Barney was. It's time for us men to defend poor innocent Barney. Don't forget how easily he could become a pawn in the hands of a wily woman. And perhaps all these women have forgotten some of Thelma Lou's flirtatious adventures. Didn't she kiss Gomer, didn't she flirt with Andy to make Barney jealous, or was that just her story? And lets not forget her gluing covers on hymnal books with Edgar Coleman ! And what about her and Edgar Coleman ! Don't forget, it takes two to tango. I'm sure there are other instances that us men folk can remember if we try. We must unite, just as we did when Ellie ran for town council, except we stay united this time. Go ahead Barney, play the field. Don't be fooled by a desprate, wily hunter, setting her trap with other men. Thelma Lou will wait. That man she brought to the class reunion wasn't really her husband. He was just a co-worker that came with her, so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Hang in there Barney, I have a feeling you will end up marrying Thelma Lou after all. (p.s., this is a joke. I too love Thelma Lou.)
