>>>>A number of years ago I gave one of these comic books to George Lindsey, and he said he'd never heard of it.? I'll bet that one of the producers had though.? George said the way he understood it was, the idea for him to wear such a?cap came from real filling station mechanics who worked under cars on lifts, and that the upturned brim all the way around the cap was to keep oil that dripped on the mechanics head from running down onto his face and neck.

Wow Paul, you are the man of many answers! Just last week we learned on the Mayberry Podcast, what the answer to the Riddle was..What did the Mirror say to the Dresser? Now the source of Goober's beanie!! Do you reckon we'll find out soon what they were saying about Myra Koontz down at the Lingerie shop? >>Wasn't Ernie Gilley the guy that owned the car that Goober dis-assembled in the courthouse?<<<< No Ted that was Giley Earley...I mean Gilley Walker. That speed speed speed just kept him in trouble. After getting his license suspended he went to the Marines for a hitch with Gomer, and then after that he ended up in a German Prison Camp. Hey did you see that Clint Howard is going to be in that new movie about the Smith Brothers Institution (Night at the Museum) . I can't wait to see it. Now I'm going to be very cautious here, because I don't want to start a political discussion. But did you see what happen to our Country's leaders when they decided to get rid of Guantanamo Bay prison? Did it remind you of the Cannon? "You all wanted to close it and get rid of it. Now nobody wants the prisoners!! We're going to have to pay someone to haul them off" I think Barney would have voted to keep it. Feel free to comment on the joke, but not the real issue, please. Keep it Mayberry! Did anyone get to watch that video I sent about Jim Nabors??
