I saw it as a joke too.

I happen to think Barn is a pretty funny guy and if he wants to spend his time fantasizing about a 20 something yo chick, who am I to criticize!

Though I would tend to agree with the others and say that the fun starts when you get out of your twenties. I am much sexier now than I was then. I had horrible taste in lingerie, did not know much about a man's body, etc.

Anyway, barnman, I hope all is well in Mayberry.
