On the episode from 1942 entitled "Selling the Drug Store," a prospector buyer says to Leroy, played by Walter Tetley, "You have a head for figures, young man. You will probably be an accountant when you grow up." Gildersleeve, exasperated with Leroy, replies, "Yes, IF he grows up."
Given the fact that Tetley was at that time 30 years old, and would never mature physically (LINK), that is a very ironic statement, at least. I am surprised they would actually put it on the program.
