I learned different when I lived in Northern Florida and Georgia.
Andy Griffith was a real gentleman and he will be greatly missed.
Many don't know he did a lot of work for the Guillain-Barre Syndrome groups, trying to raise awareness (he had that disease but recovered very well from it)

Which is much more like what you saw on the show (or at least parts of it are).

Replaced by a plastic simulacrum purchased from WalMart.

(5,420 posts)6. like "don't go picking your peaches before
they's fuzzed up good" or something like that. It was in one of the earliest shows when he was more hicklike. I remember cracking up hearing this on a more recent rerun.

I'm a huge Andy Griffith fan. I've even made the "pilgrimage" to Mount Airy twice. This is so sad.
RIP Andy.
