One of a kind.
Big-hearted fellow, too. Wonder if they placed his bullet with him. R.I.P., Barney

Those eyes of his said it all.
The single bullet that Sheriff Taylor let him keep in his pocket rather than in the gun as Deputy of Mayberry. Comedy has come a long way since that show, but it is still funny, and in re-runs.

In comedy, it's about timing. I'm sorry his timing ran out....
