Probably one of the reasons that I loved the Beverly Hillbillies so much. And while Jethro probably made the majority of those references, it was the spectre of the wholesome Ellie Mae being on the receiving end, which she certainly was from her own references, that sustained me through so many seasons.
I think, however, that the ceaseless spanking references were more in line with both their Southern and hillbilly tradition, an upbringing in which a good spanking was considered as needful an ingredient for a healthy upbringing as was nutritious food.
