Granny thinks she has an “inhale-o-phone” during a conversation with Cousin Pearl.
thefilmarchive.org DVD: www.amazon.com November 14, 1962 The headmistress of an exclusive private school for boys is astonished to find the teenaged Jethro enrolled in her fifth grade. Jethro (though he addresses Jed as his uncle) is the son of Jed’s cousin, Pearl Bodine. He drove the Clampett family to their new home in California and stayed on with them to further his education. The whole family boasts of Jethro’s “sixth grade education” but nevertheless feels he is a bit of an idiot. Jethro is simply naive in the first season of the show but becomes incredibly ignorant and pompous as the series progresses. He often shows off his cyphering abilities with multiplication and “go-zin-ta’s,” as in “five gozinta five one times, five gozinta ten two times,” etc. The tallest student in his class in the town of Oxford (so named because “that’s where the oxen used to ford the creek”) because of his age, he is often impressing others that he graduated “top of his class at Oxford.” In Beverly Hills, he decides to go to college. He manages to enroll late in the semester at a local secretarial school due to his financial backing and earns his diploma by the end of the day because he didn’t understand what was going on in class and was too disruptive. (This was an ironic in-joke—in real life Max Baer Jr, has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Santa Clara University (also Minored in Philosophy)). Many stories in the series involve Jethro’s endless career search, which …

@gpburr I never said it was ok…….just like ill never say hang gliding or working on high construction is OK. I am just disputing others who insist that smoking will kill you at the exclusion of all other things

@inkey2 You have a point, but your argument is fallacious. You can’t just say “oh well smoking is okay because there are many other things that may kill me before a cigarette does.” If you’re going to slippery-slope your way through the argument, you might as well just be a suicide advocate and be done with it.

@nakyer there is no way in hell that you can say every smokers life is cut shorter by smoking when there is thousands of other ways you could die first…..people who say that are excluding every other way of death

@nakyer how can you possibly know that my dad lived longer and his sister lived a shorter life “if they both died at 83 years old????

@nakyer he was using flawed logic…….if he said smoking may shorten your life I could agree. But he insisted, at the exclusion of every other cause that smoking always leads to death from cancer

@inkey2 You’re putting words in Valmol’s mouth. Nothing was said about being immune to other causes of death. Simply that smoking leads to an early death FOR THAT REASON, unless something else takes you even earlier, like engaging in some other dangerous behaviour, for example. You’re a smoker, aren’t you?

@inkey2 What a logical reply….NOT. It’s no theory, it’s proven fact. Your father’s life would have been cut shorter if he’d been a smoker, and your aunt would have lived longer if she hadn’t. Don’t “blow smoke” in your effort to cloud the issue. Smoking kills and you’re blindly supporting something everyone in their right mind knows not to do.

@valmol02 well by your logic….if “cancer and death” is always the final result of smoking…..that means anyone who smokes is magically prevented from dieing any other way just because they smoke. So using that logic you can never die in the military, car accident, hit by a car, overdose on drugs, die in a flood because the Grim Reaper is waiting to take you from the results of smoking.

@nakyer well, based on your theory….my father should have lived longer because he “didn’t smoke” His father, my grandfather (who I never knew) died at 27. The thing is…..there are many other things that can kill you that are going on at the same time while one is living. Smoking is just one of many things that can make you come to your enevitable demise….for example sun exposure, being in the military, living in a large city, being over weight, driving a motorcycle……etc

@inkey2 She’d have likely lived longer if she hadn’t smoked. Smoking’s dirty and poison and earlier death.

There’s no one that could convince a smoker that cancer and death are the final result. No patch, no program, no suggestion or advice.
There is only their own will to live.
STOP SMOKING.

@mralmeister1
Was Ms. Ryan’s stroke really smoking-related?
I know Bea Benaderet was a heavy smoker. I prefer June Foray over Bea though as the voices of Granny and Witch Hazel from Looney Tunes.

i’ve noticed that alot of people i know health started to decline after they quit smoking. my grandfather quit in 77 and 2 years later his health began to decline and was in bad health until he died in 2008 at 74 . my grandfather quit when he was 43. he was in good health when he quit. my dad quit in 06 and his health started to decline faster then it was before he quit. my great grandfather started at 14 and never quit. died at 89. i’m never gonna quit.

@gccn Very true. The government harps on cigarettes all the time, but only about 20% of the population smokes. BUT—100% of the population EATS, and they need to focus on our foods and water supplies to check for cancer causing agents. I am sorry you have such pain. Can’t anyone help you? It is ok to take narcotics if you need them. You are in pain and your doctor needs to make you more comfortable.

@gccn I’m sorry for you pain. You might try a pain doctor. Generally they are anesthesiologists.

The actress who played cousin Pearl, Bea Benaderet, died of lung cancer a few years after this commercial was made.
