But I've yet to find anyone that knows the answer to the age old question.....

What did Barney Rubble do for a living? In the shows opening you always see him dropping Fred off at work but then where did he go? In one episode he was Mr. Slate'* nephew and worked at the quarry but things didn't work out, in another episode Barney & Fred opened a diner- but that too didn't work out.

I've heard other people say he "did" Wilma

Does anyone know the answer?

He headed over to the Scooby Doo set, and hung out with Shaggy, if ya know what I mean....
It would certainly explain why he was always giggleing.....

I have a funny story about Shaggy but I can't share it without a certain someone'* consent.

He worked with Fred at the quarry.
