Favorite Andy Griffith moments

Opie is not liking history class...none of the boys in the class do. Andy makes it all exciting for the boys, who subsequently learn to love history. One of the last scenes (or the last, not sure if my copy is complete):

(I'm paraphrasing)

Barney: I don't see what the problem is with learnin' dates. Dates are easy to learn, all you need is a system.

Andy: And I suppose you have a system.

Barney: I sure do. Take 1776 for example. The first number is easy, because it's the first number in the alphabet. Seven's a lucky number, so that's easy. Then, you have another 7, which is easy because you just remembered 7. Then, what's 1 from 7? 6! So...1776!

Andy: Hmmm. Don't you think it'd be easier to just remember 1776?

Barney (in a huff): Well, if you want to do everything the easy way you'll never learn anything.

Now that is just classic!

Any Andy fans out there? Favorites?
