Barney at 3:10. And I love 3:47... "WHAT'S your hurry?"

Thanks for posting that, Alex!

Barney at 1:38!

and re the man falling asleep, Grandpa used to be a Methodist minister in the bush areas years ago and seeing this reminded him of when he preached in the afternoon services, the farmers would all come in, and as soon as they sat down, they would fall asleep! So Grandpa used to walk throughout the church while he was preaching and say like(What do you think of that, Jack? or How about that Bill?) to wake up a sleepyhead. So he told us that story.

Interesting about your grandpa!

Oh, and Mayberry later found out that that sleeping man, Gomer Pyle, had a pretty fair singing voice...

My dad used to fall asleep as soon as he sat down in church too. For many years he had a rural mail route. When he was done with that he would go paint houses. He was pretty tired by Sunday. He doesn't seem to fall asleep in church much now since he is retired.

I love that "WHAT'S your hurry??" scene! That's such a funny one. And Gomer....he just stuns me every time I hear him sing. What an amazing voice. (My niece, Rachel, summed it up pretty well when she heard him for the first time when she was eight. She said, "WOW. He may not be very smart, but he sure can sing!!" )

Your grandpa found a very clever way to keep the people awake without scaring them witless, Alex.
