Gold

Coverage of the gold medal winners at the Olympics this morning made me want to watch the episode of The Andy Griffith Show titled A Black Day For Mayberry. It's the one where Andy and Barney were supposed to keep a secret that a truck with seven million dollars worth of gold would be going through town but Barney told his girlfriend Juanita and then the whole town knew!

I love the scene where the townspeople have formed a parade for the truck complete with a welcome banner.

They put Barney in the back to guard the gold while the driver eats supper. He can't help but sneak a peak at the gold bricks.

He quickly finds out they are just boxes of sand.

Turns out they were just using Mayberry for the decoy truck. My very favorite show and this classic humor is priceless.
