Wasn't Abbott epileptic or diabetic or something like that? Maybe he wasn't supposed to eat ice cream for some medical reason. And, yes, maybe that AIN'T ice cream.

>> And is the character "Wild" Red Berry ( credited as Red Barry ) that Bud meets outside the pool hall in WELL OILED the Red Barry of the serials ?? <<

No (even though IMDb used to list Don "Red" Barry as a player in that episode; I deleted him and added "Wild" Red Berry a few weeks ago). I don't know who "Wild" Red is, but he was very funny.
