In this story from the Andy Griffith Show, Andy persuades Rafe Hollister to get his tetanus shot with his persuasive story telling. He even sings Rafe a dirge for his future funeral. Hilarious clip. Wonderful characters and great performance by these two actors.

You know why we watch the reruns? Because we know for a fact that we are going to enjoy it all over again, that for 30 minutes we will be in Mayberry and that for 30 minutes the bills don't matter, the job doesn't matter, the pain in your knee doesn't matter, the snow doesn't matter....nothing matters. We have escaped to Mayberry and all we really want is a Cherry Coke from Wally's Filling Station and to sit on the front porch and count cars and wave to people. If only for 30 minutes.

I probably saw this episode when it originally ran in 1962. I know I saw it at least a couple of times when I regularly watched Andy Griffith re-runs more than 20 years ago. I hadn't thought about it at all until a couple of days ago when I was reading a news account about a 24-year-old anti-vaxxer ER nurse who worked at a hospital near me who died from covid, probably from the Delta variant that is spreading in my area. I suddenly recalled the way Andy convinced Rafe to get his shot. Too bad we live in the real world and not in Mayberry.

Wouldn't surprise me when I go next month, the nurse will have that shot waiting soon as I walk in the room. LMAO, I know it's silly to get so worked up. I just hate getting shots. I dread it.
