Subject: Slide Rule Sighting on Green Acres
Oliver decides he want to raise chickens. He contracts Ralph and
Ralph to build a brooder for the chicks. Out comes the slide rule
(looks to be a Sterling) numerous times to calculate the
dimensions. (Of course you all know how corny this show is.) The
building is a disaster. Ralph and Ralph want $4,000 dollers for a
job where all they did was essentially put a chicken wire fence
across the door. Mr Douglas is outraged, and out comes the slide
rule again to calculate time, material, etc.

(Was this one even worth mentioning? :-)
