But I like living in Mayberry!
If Deppity Martin or Deppity Xavier shows up at my place, I'll walk outside and Howdy and see if I can help him with whatever problem he might have.
We had one young deputy for a while, nickname of "Roadblock". He played a pretty good game of horseshoes, at our local pit. Nice guy.
Back when Joaquin Jackson (6'-4" plus cowboy boots and western hat) was our Ranger, a little short guy got introduced to him one day, down at the "Straight Store" cafe. Shorty looks up--and up, and up--and sez, "My Gawd! You're taller than they said you was!"
One day Cowboy Doug, a local picker, arrived at the post office at the same time as Constable Richard.
Richard: "Doug, your license plate's expired."
Doug: "Yeah, and I don't have any insurance or inspection sticker, either, but don't tell the law."
Richard: "Doug, I AM the law."
Doug: "Well, just forget I said anything."
Richard: "Okay."
Some folks just don't live in the right place, is all...
