Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke;

I don't know about Gomer, but I wonder about Andy.
There was one episode in which Opie has one of his young friends there for a sleepover and as they are getting ready for bed, Andy comes in and convinces the boy to sleep with him instead of Opie. Strange.
Gomer was the featured act at the county fair where I lived about 20 yrs. ago. People did not have much of an issue with him, but the whole town was about ready to kill his obnoxious significant other.
...But don’t sing “Let me be your salty dog” because it makes the baby, or me, cry. LOVED Denver Pyle on the jug.
These days I have at least some respect for anyone in that business who keeps their personal politics (and preference of bedroom company) to themselves. He's now retired to Hawaii and owns a macadamia nut farm. Certainly not anyone who should be chased down for a "citizen's arrest!". Andy Griffith, on the other hand ....
Rumor has it that he is one unfriendly, nasty, guy. You know how it goes with elitist liberals like Andy,
Iv’e got mine. Now gimme yours.
That is totally funny and true......
My cousin sent me that one, couldn’t resist, it is so perfect for o’nazicare threads.
