A Great Lawman

That's not what you'd say about Mayberry Deputy Barney Fife, portrayed by the late Don Knotts, born this day in 1924. Charlie Brown never got to kick the football, and Barney never got to fire his one bullet in the line of duty. He did fire it accidentally 11 times, according to this Andy Griffith Show FAQ entry, bringing terror to innocent holsters and floorboards throughout North Carolina.
