Do any of you remember this one?
 
Do any of you remember this one?
Yes. I remember one episode in particular where Aaron got a citation for jaywalking or something, and later in the episode he's trying to get a learner's permit, but he has no ID or official documentation to prove who he is, so ends up bringing the citation and family bible down to the clerk of court to point out his birth. "They named the boy "Aaron"... which of these documents is not "official" enough?..." and the dmv clerk responds "sir, you've got a lot to learn. So I guess we better give you a permit for it." Forty years on and that scene still comes back to me.
