Just finished watching the Christmas episode of TAGS..For the longest time I had the impression that Aunt Bee didn't get a gift from Ben Weaver. However watching this time I was reasurred she did. Then I realized that Barney wasn't fooling anyone in his Santa costume and probably had no intentions to. But even if I had not started watching the episode before Barney entered the room I would not have been fooled because I know the facts... At the time of the broadcast there were approximately one (1) billion children in the world living in 100 million houses. For Santa Claus to deliver that many gifts, one per child no bigger than a box of legos, he would have to have a sleigh 13 miles long, and 8 feet high..loaded it would weigh more than 500 tons and be pulled by 360,000 female reindeer, b/c the male deer lose their antlers in winter..He would have to travel 75.5 million miles at the speed of 650 MPH making 967 visits per second. His helper would have to be female because only a woman would be able to drag a fat old man all over the world in one night and never get lost... So, Opie, in reality...Only barney Fife exists as Santa Claus...But then who would want it any other way
Merry Christmas to all WBMUTBB member, families and staff..May you have a safe and happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year..Not forgetting the Reason for the Season...
