Thanks for everyone who wrote to tell me how we know Andy was in France,
regarding his comment to Peggy over dinner, perhaps Andy's military
unit(presuming he was in the military) was in France but never in
Paris...Andrew McKenzie
Ok since I started this fiasco last week I think it only right that I put a lid
on it.
We know Andy was in the military we know he was in france and we know he was in
Paris
1. In 'Ellie Comnes To Town' The show opens with Andy letting Aunt Bee into the
drugstore. He picks up a bottle of toilet water and takes a whiff reading the
label and commenting it came from Paris. Thehe says. 'I WAS OVER THERE DURING
THE WAR. IT'S A REAL NICE SMELLING CITY.
2. In the episode 'A Feud is a Feud' Andy says he learned how to count in
French, Quote : 'I LEARNED SOME FRENCH WHEN I WAS OVER THERE DURING THE WAR'
Twice he said he was over there during the war and he knows Paris is a sweet
smelling city SO HE MUST HAVE BEEN IN PARIS FRANCE.
3. We know he has been sheriff at this time for 12 years . 1960 - 12 = 1948.
Assuming he just didnt walk off the boat and become sheriff if we give him a
year to campaign
that gets us to 1947 when he returned. Assuming he may have been drafted he
entered the service in 1945 or late 1944.
Now what else do we need to know about this subject. To believe a civilian
would just go to Paris France as a tourist during the war is Obtuse and
ludricous thinking.
