Caught hold of something in Barney's Sidecar episode the other night that I 
just can't figure out for the life of me. When Andy is telling Barney that the 
motorcycle should be over at the National Guard Armory he states, "...We've got 
the cannon from the Civil War, jeep from WWII...." That statement made me get 
out a bucket and take a think. 
 
Is the cannon that Andy refers to the same cannon that he tried to pawn off to 
the antique dealer? Wouldn't it have been more valuable as a Civil War cannon 
instead of one that Teddy Roosevelt pulled up San Juan Hill? I know he used the 
carved initials TR in the ruse to the dealer but it seems to me that he could 
have used the fact that it was indeed a Civil War cannon and then the deal 
wouldn't have been such a dramatic lie. But then that deal wouldn't have 
contributed to Barney's downing four milk shakes in his disgust with Andy.
