Mayberry RFD
An update on the great Big Mac terrorist attack. Right now it seems the only person in the world who thinks the not-so-bright guys trying to corner the cell phone market were going to blow up the Mackinac Bridge is the Tuscola County sheriff. Caro, where this incident took place, is a little bigger than Mayberry, but probably not a lot. I can't help but think of a Mayberry episode with a plot line something like this:
Barney: Andy, Andy the terrorists are going to blow up Aunt Bea's house.
Andy: Calm down now Barney - you don't know that for sure.
Barney: But Andy, they got pictures and new-fangled cell phones and everything.
Andy: Now just settle down, Barn. they're just probably taking some pictures.
Barney: But Andy, you don't understand, they're from the Middle East and they got pictures and they even opened the cell phone packages. They're going to blow up Aunt Bea's house for sure. Let's call out the National Guard.
Andy: Come on now Barn, just hold on. Just 'cause they spent a whole bunch of money buying phones at 1 in the morning don't mean they're going to blow up anything.
Barney: Oh Andy, you don't know - them cell phones can be made into bombs! What about poor Aunt Bea and Opie - they're probably being blown to bits right this minute.
