RIP Sheriff Taylor.

My wife always asks me this question when someone of advanced age dies..

M: "Andy Griffith died today. He was 86"
H: "OMG! What did he die of?"
M: "He died of being on this Earth for 86 years!"
H: thinking she's sly "Well 86 years wasn't enough for George Burns to die from"
M: "Nope, but it was enough for Andy Griffith apparently"

That sucks. I used to wake up before school and watch his show. Goes back to a time that was truly simpler and more innocent.

Wow, died this morning and already buried on his family farm. That was fast.

The Andy Griffith show is one of the best tv shows ever.

Yes. I love that show and the wonderful lessons in each one.

Andy: Now lookey heah! We better talk about this thing. Now, now, now look here, Opie, you-huh-you can't give a little bitty piddlin' amount like three cents to a worthy cause like the underprivileged children's drive. I, I 'as readin' here just the other day where there's somewhere like four-hundred needy boys in this county alone, or, or, or one-and-a-half boys per square mile.
Opie: There is?
Andy: There sure is.
Opie: I never seen one, paw.
Andy: Never seen one what?
Opie: A half-boy.
Andy: Well it's not really a half a boy, i - it's a ratio.
Opie: Horatio who?
Andy: Not Horatio - a ratio. It's mathematics, 'rithmatic. Look, now Opie, just forget that part of it. Forget the part about the half-a-boy.
Opie: It's pretty hard to forget a thing like that, paw.
Andy: Well, try!
Opie: Poor Horatio.
