So, what did Barney Rubble do for a living anyway?

     Barney Rubble worked at the quarry with Fred. This is what
     the waiter at the restaurant I was at last night told me.
     Actually, I suspect that Barney worked at the same place
     Ozzie Nelson did.

In some episodes, Barney worked with Fred.  In others, he had a different
job.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what that job was (there may have
even been more than one).

You are all wrong. While it is true that Barney and Fred did not originally
work in the same place (and I don't recall where he did work) he was fired
from his job. At Wilma's instigation, Fred took Barney to the Rock pit
to try to get him a job. I don't remember how long that job lasted either,
but there were at least a few days that both Barney and Fred worked at the
same place.

(interesting english "the Ozzie Nelson", "and Fred ROAD to work".  hiss.)

If Barney Rubble did not work at the quarry with
Fred Flintstone, then how come they had lunch
together under the dinosaur?????  Did Barney
have a longer lunch hour than Fred had, and so
had the time to come visit his friend at his
place of work?  Nah.

It is also true that Fred and Barney did work together at various times.
For example how many people remember when they operated a drive-in stand:
And the classic song that it had in it.

Here we come on the run
with a burger and a bun
and a slab of cole slaw on the side.

Oh you taste, we will tickle
with a cold dill pickle.
And all of our potatoes
are french, fried, fried, fried.

Our burgers can't be beat,
'cause we grind our own meat
grind, grind, grind, grind grind.

When you drive away,
a tip apon the tray.
We hope to find, find, find, find find.

This may have been asked before, but how many people remember the middle
lyric in the opening song.  The one after, "Let's ride, with the family
down the street."  Think about it,
