Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Barney discovers an unflattering poem written about him on the wall of the bank. Even better, he manages to catch the graffiti-writing culprit red-handed with a piece of chalk still in his hand. The poem reads as follows: 'There once was a Deputy called Fife', 'Who carried a gun and a knife', 'But the gun was all dusty', 'The knife was all rusty', 'Cause he never caught a crook in his life'.
Who was it that Barney claimed wrote the comical yet disrespectful poem?
2. Ernest T. Bass comes to town in hopes of getting an education and winds up falling in love with his teacher.

How does Andy respond to Barney's suggestion?
3. Barney makes a fool of himself (yet again) by going to jail for five days after Gomer places him under a "citizen's arrest".

4. Andy and Barney start reminiscing about their high school days while browsing through an old Mayberry Union High yearbook. They decide to organize a 20-year class reunion and receive quite a few RSVPs.

As it turns out, he needn't have worried ... she doesn't even remember Barney and evens mistakes him for the bartender. What is the name of this alleged old flame of Barney?
5. The neighboring community of Greendale offers Barney the job of Sheriff. Andy doesn't believe Barney has the experience and decides to let him be sheriff for a day to get the feel of the job. He decides his first official act as Sheriff is to try and locate Rafe Hollister's still. He proceeds to do this by interrogating Otis' subconcious while he sleeps. It doesn't quite work out as Old Barn had hoped because Otis is only pretending to be asleep and gives Barney directions to the still that cover most of the east coast. What address does he eventually lead Barney to?
6. One day while Andy is out of the office, two very official-looking men enter and ask for Sheriff Taylor. Barney explains that the sheriff is out and offers to help with anything he can.
