#WednesdayWisdom life lessons from the "Deputy Otis" episode

Ralph Campbell, Otis's brother, makes a surprise visit to Mayberry. Otis, never expecting his brother and sister-in-law to visit, led them to believe that he works in the Mayberry sheriff's office. Otis tugs at Andy, Barney, and the viewers heartstrings when he talks about his family's comparison, "Ralph's gonna do real good. Ralph's gonna do fine. Why can't you be more like Ralph?" However, we find out Ralph also likes to get drunk on Saturday night and lock himself in jail, just like Otis.

⭐Too much comparison leads to unhappiness and low self-esteem. 

⭐Sometimes you've got to have more faith. You never know how things are going to turn out.

⭐Don't walk to far while trying to keep it all sucked in. It ain't easy.

(Season 4 The Haunted House)

Andy:"Oh he probably just stepped in a closet or somethin'." Barney:"Where you been!?" Gomer:"I must've stepped in a closet or somethin'." Andy:"See." Gomer:"It sure was a funny closet. I never would've found my way out again, if you hadn't gave me that push." Barney:"I didn't push you." Gomer:"Well, somebody or somethin' did."

(Season 5 Opie Loves Helen)

Season 1 Ellie for Council

Andy has cooked breakfast for him Opie and the eggs got burned.

Aunt Bee:"Opie wouldn't you rather have breakfast with me?"

Opie:"No mam. I'm stickin' with the men. Even if it hurts my stomach!"

Andy Trivia: Season 1 starts with The New Housekeeper & ends with The Beauty Contest. T or F?

[Skipper Duke]

Andy is talking to Barney about walking Thelma Lou home. Opie is also present. Andy gets so caught up in hearing the juicy details, he forgets Opie is there, which Barney points out.

Andy Taylor:"Did you get a little kissy?"

Barney Fife:"Andy, the boy."

Andy Taylor:"Opie, why don't you run on outside an' play?"

Opie Taylor:"Are you tryin' to get rid of me Pa?"

Andy Taylor:"Well, yeah. I reckon so."

Opie Taylor:"Ok. I'll go. Gosh, you think I never heard about kissin' before."

Season 2 The County Nurse

Andy Taylor:"Rafe, this here is a thermometer."

Rafe Hollister:"I got one of those on my henhouse, only bigger."

Andy Taylor:"Rafe, this here is the thermometer fer people! It let's you know when you got a fever."

Rafe Hollister:"I know when I got a fever. I'm hot!"

Andy Taylor:"But Rafe, this here tells you how hot!"

Rafe Hollister:"I know how hot I am when I'm hot, danged hot!"

Season 2 Andy on Trial

Barney Fife:"You gotta understand. This is a small town, the Sheriff is more than just a Sheriff. He's a friend. An' the people in this town, they ain't got a better friend than Andy Taylor! As for Andy doin' his job, I'd like for you to take a look in the record book Mr. Jackson! Do you know there ain't ever been a major crime committed in this town, thanks to Sheriff Taylor? In fact, the only ruckus you'd ever have in Mayberry, is if you tried to remove him from office. Then you'd have a riot! You asked me if Andy runs a taut ship Mr. Milton. Well, no he don't! But, that's because of something that he's been tryin' to teach me ever since I started workin' for him, and that is, that when yer a lawman, and yer dealin' with people, you do a whole lot better if you go not so much by the book, but by the heart! I guess maybe that's to hard for some of you to understand. I don't know. That's all I got to say."
