My husband and I refer to the cops of our small city as Barney Fifes. I think it's a common thing for people from my generation to do! I enjoyed all the Mayberry episodes since I was a little kid until the went off the air, maybe around the early 70's.

Sheriff Andy’s had his share of strife with his deputy dope, Barney Fife. That first time that Barney showed up full of blarney, Andy ought to have run for his life! Feb. 7, 2019

:) Nicely done, Andrea. Fife seemed to be the best target for the contest. Never understood why Andy kept him on, but that's Mayberry, not the real world. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
