Right. I recognize the metaphor and the parody... was just trying to beleeeeve for a bit of realism.... guess I just can't beleeeve big enough....
I figure if Saint Vic can claim he invented fast food but something happened an to remind him of it the devil turned his last name initial upside down and it became the McDonald's logo, then I guess we can turn the Mayberry initial upside down and make it Wayberry.
Allegedly, she made pie. vpw mentioned that in pfal when he made his rambling analogy by way of "explaining" ortho tomonta, or "right cutting." Supposedly, she cut her pies so precisely there were no larger pieces for him to claim.

Bible interpretation DIY fast food? Spiritual fast food? I’ll take a #3 McPLAF combo with no commentaries except VPs. In-n-out Jesus.
You forgot? He said that she cut the pie, then, as head of the house, he got to pick the first piece, so he'd examine the pie to look for the biggest piece. However, she'd always cut the pie so precisely that the pieces were all the correct number and all of them were the same size.
As he's been shown to be a big, fat liar most of the time, I'd question whether this happened. However, he definitely said it. People later used the same example whenever discussing "rightly dividing" - "Just like one of Mrs Wierwille's pies."

Serious question: Did Mrs. W. really cook fried chicken, biscuits and fried apple pie? Was she Southern?

She cooked southern food no more than Saint Vic was sheriff. I was trying to extend the metaphor to Mayberry by comparing Mrs. Weirwille to Aunt Bea.

In the TV series, the sheriff and the town drunk were 2 different people.

No but she did organize the annual apple pie bake in the BRC kitchen. Midwest like Betty Crocker.

I had to do that as a kid (one cut, the other chooses) . . . hoping the idea didn't come from VPW worship.

Knowing vpw, I'm sure he'd say he invented the thing. Naturally, someone else did, and vpw took whatever credit he could. Standard M.O. for vpw.
