This is where sitcoms and reality blur....It was a joke, It was funny then and it will always be funny. It has nothing to do with respect for women in general. If we got serious about being politically correct in Mayberry, Otis letting himself in and out of the jail cell would not be funny, nor tolerated. There are hundreds of politically correct SNAFUs throughout the episodes - you could stretch the story about Mr. Darling claiming Charlene should be glad she's married to a man who hardly ever hits her as an anti feminine remark but it's funny. It was funny when he said it, it will always be funny. You have to lighten up to see the funny side and Mayberry is a great way to escape reality. So enjoy the funny, is what I say....but don't tell my daughter-in-law. Harriet, the chicken thief, hiding out in Kelsey's Woods, USA ....Johnny Paul Jason says chewing tar is good for the teeth......That's an old wives tale....Johnny Paul ain't married..... _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
