Think you’ve had a bad day?
Flipping the remote tonight I ran across one of my all time favorite tv show episodes. “Barney Buys a Car” from “The Andy Griffith Show”.
Barney takes all of his savings out of the bank and buys a car, then takes everybody for a joy ride. Of course trouble, and hilarity ensues. Years ago I memorized the problems Wally found with his car so I could play a joke on a girlfriend. I still remember the line:
“Well, she’s gonna need: plugs, points, bearings, valves, rings, starter switch, ignition wire, water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, clutch, clutch bearings, clutch plates, brake lining, brake shoes, brake drums, radiator hose and radiator hose cover”. And I’d give her a good wash too.
classic tv moment. I found it all on YouTube; watch Don Knotts performance. Brilliant and just as funny today as it was 40 years ago.
