Ever wonder why everybody was so happy and everything was so peaceful in Andy Griffith’s Mayberry? I think it’s because no one was married! Andy, young Opie of course, Barney, Aunt Bee, Helen, Goober, Floyd the barber, Gomer were all single. Only Otis was married and he was the town drunk!

I think actually one guy was married. the drunk guy that would sleep in the jail.
They never arrested any sex workers, making for a town of happy bachelors.
Jascoi: that was Otis, the town drunk


Andy and Barney kept it on the down low.
