Corrected entry: Frightened by Brutus, the great dane, Sergeant Karmody climbs up a tree and winds up spending the night asleep in the tree. The next morning when Mark discovers him, he remains clean-shaven. No whiskers have grown overnight.
Corrected entry: Officer Karmody catches the Garrisons speeding on a city street and missing a stop sign, and writes a citation. Several weeks later, he tells Mr. Garrison that he's now a sergeant and is no longer on "highway patrol." Highway patrolmen cover only the freeways and highways and can not issue citations on city streets.
Correction: He was on highway patrol, not a highway patrolman. Besides that, this movie was made in 1966. In 1971, four highway patrol officers were killed in a restaurant parking lot in California while investigating a report of someone waving a weapon. Obviously, at that time at least, they were not limited to covering only highways and freeways.
Correction: Some men's whiskers do not grow as quickly as others. I am 44 years old, and only shave 2, at most 3 times a week. Overnight without shaving, I still haven't even grown a 5 o'clock shadow.
