Aunt Bee enjoys a good laugh in The Rumor, when Barney tells her he dropped a 
filing cabinet drawer in an attempt to keep Andy busy at the courthouse. Why J 
through Z would all be in one drawer of a four-drawer cabinet, and the TOPMOST 
drawer to boot, is a mystery.

Probably the only time she really breaks up laughing, to the point that she can 
barely speak, comes near the end of Howard the Comedian. She is telling a story 
about the time she was down in the cellar when the minister stopped by.  Why 
this is supposed to be hilariously funny, I do not know, unless maybe the good 
folks of Mayberry routinely keep liquor in their cellars.  Anybody have another 
explanation?
