The other day, when Sam and the good sheriff were putting on their performance, the bartender was actually given a small speaking part. Isn't it surprising that with all the action down at the bar, that the proprietor wasn't a regular character?

I was surprised he had such a big part. I was also surprised that he asked the sheriff if it was all right to serve him. I wonder what the penalty was for serving an intoxicated person was in 1967? Today the bartender plus the bar owner can get fined and points are added against taking the alcohol license away.

I believe Bob Rooney rarely got to speak because the the actor's pay rate escalated substantially whenever he had lines to say. ;)

I know this is kinda off-topic, but wondering what it was like serving the spirits back in '67 made me nostalgic. Where I grew up, it was not illegal, for example, for a minor to enter a bar; you just couldn't serve 'em booze. My uncle and aunt owned a neighborhood bar, one of those mom-and-pop establishments, and we use to go there all the time, pulling ourselves up on the stools, and would have soda, chips and candy. There were times when parents would also send us to the bar on a hot summer day to pick up a six-pack of beer (always bottled, never canned) and bring it back home for them. No one ever gave it a second thought - ten-year-olds buying beer. Life was a heckuva lot more innocent and trusting back then.
