I received this week's edition of the Mayberry Gazette. I thought I would share the "Mayberry After Midnight" column with you.
There was a corn on the cob eating contest at the county fair. Who won? Who else but Hogette Winslow? Mavis Neft also won a door prize at the fair. She won a free hair cut at Floyd’s Barber Shop. She sure looks different in a flat top. Tillie, otherwise known as the Beaver, paid a visit to Mayberry this week. However, she did not stay very long. She said the kids in town kept trying to open their pop bottles with her teeth. Word is that one of the Darling boys is in the Mt. Pilot Hospital. He received a concussion while drinking milk. Apparently the cow fell on him. Ernest T. Bass recently tried to enlist in the U.S. Army. The recruiting officer reports that Ernest T. does not know the meaning of the word fear. However, because he doesn’t know the meaning of most of the other words he was tested on, he was rejected. A new window at the recruiting office will be installed on Monday. Big Jeff Pruitt had a strange experience while milking cows Tuesday morning. He said while he was milking, a big fly flew right into his cows ears. A few minutes later the fly came shooting out of the cow and landed right in the milk bucket. Yep, that fly went in one ear and out the udder. Sheriff Taylor reports that he has received a letter from Private Gomer Pyle who is serving his country in the U.S.M.C. Private Pyle is recovering from injuries he received in war maneuvers on the base. He was told that he was to attempt to blow up an enemy tank. He burned his mouth quite seriously on the tank’s exhaust pipe. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
