Trained noticers will remember that when Opie and his pal were printing their 
own newspaper, Barney was overheard to say that Sue Grigsby was a "blonde right 
out of a bottle."

I recently got a new BlackBerry but it wasn't set up properly, so I stopped by 
the cell phone store, and as the young woman who worked there fiddled with it, 
I noticed that she had "blonde streaks right out of bottle" in her hair. You're 
not going to believe this, but her name was -- you guessed it. Sue Grigsby, 
well Susan, actually.  I asked her if she knew there was a character on The 
Andy Griffith Show who shared her name, and she was unaware of the fact. 

Anyway, we chatted a bit, and it turns out her grandfather or maybe 
great-grandfather was the late Bill Grigsby, who was something of a legend in 
this part of the country. In the 1950s he was the announcer for the Joplin 
Miners baseball team (Mickey Mantle played for them), and then for 45 years he 
was announcer for the Kansas City Chiefs. But I digress.
