Summary[]
Plot[]
When Goober hears that Wally has the gas station up for sale, he decides the time has come for him to become a businessman. With Andy and Emmett acting as co-signers, he borrows the money and is soon the proud owner of his own business. His idea of being a business executive may be a bit off-kilter, however. His first act is to hire an employee to do the manual work while he does all of the 'thinking'. The only problem is, he's not much of businessman and Andy and Emmett start to wonder what they have got themselves into when Goober starts to make some pretty serious errors, like forgetting to order gas. When Goober reads about a well-educated man who lost millions when he became head of his company, he loses all confidence in himself.
Notes/Trivia[]
- Andy mentioned that Floyd had enough money to retire, and Emmett moved his business from his home to storefront property. This is the first mention of Floyd after he left the show.
Goofs[]
It's said multiple times in this episode that Goober has been working at the filling station for 11 3/4 years however Goober wasn't even mentioned on the show until season 3 and didn't appear on the show until almost the end of season 4. His cousin Gomer, who he took the place of at the filling station, didn't leave for the marines until the end of season 4. This certainly chops this episode's mention of 11 3/4 years down to less than 3 years. It’s also possible Wally owns other filling stations.
