Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The episode begins with BJ and Winchester trying to top one another with the medical procedures each has performed. At one point, Hawkeye jumps in and says something rather unrelated...

Answer: "I can do a cartwheel."

BJ adds that Hawkeye can do said cartwheel while performing an appendectomy.

2. Has crazy Klinger met his match? While dishing up food with the new guy, Boots Miller, Klinger hands him a ladle. What does Boots think the ladle is?

Answer: A microphone

Later Klinger joins Miller in their tent, where Miller proceeds to use the ladle as a camera. Klinger responds, "Come off it, Miller! Who you kiddin'? You can't take a picture with a microphone!"

3. Klinger tells Boots to lay off his amateur crazy act. Boots agrees. Still, he proceeds with some strange behavior just before going to bed. What?

Answer: Saying goodnight to his shoes and socks.

Miller was played by Hamilton Camp. When I saw him I exclaimed "Oh! I know that guy!" This is probably because Camp was one of those actors that made the rounds on many shows, from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" to "Star Trek: Deep Space 9".

Answer: Charles

Hawkeye then suggests they try it out on Charles.

5. Colonel Potter suggests substituting sugar pills for the contaminated morphine- making use of the placebo effect. He got this idea from his town doctor in Hannibal, MO. What was his name?

Answer: Doc Shumaker

Doc Shumaker lived right across the street from the Potters. "Of course he did," Charles says derisively.

6. Margaret is afraid she won't be able to convince the patients that the pills will work. Hawkeye suggests: "Just pretend you're in the school play. You're ____________, passing out morphine."

Answer: Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

Charles, on the other hand, wants "no part of this char-aad", repeatedly saying that it won't work.

7. Meanwhile, Boots and Klinger are on guard duty. Boots believes he hears the enemy approaching and starts shooting. (This eventually gets him discharged.) How does he think they're traveling?

Answer: By glider

Klinger is freaked out by the shooting and really starts to believe Boots Miller is crazy. "If they gave me a Section 8 (mental incompetence discharge) tonight, I'd give it to you!" Klinger exclaims.

Answer: Hypnotism with a gold watch.

This last claim convinces Hawkeye and BJ that they must trap Charles in a lie.

9. Charles has the last laugh in the topping game when he proves to Hawkeye and BJ that he had dinner with what famous actress?

Answer: Audrey Hepburn

Charles then smugly asks, "When are you two cretins going to realize that your feeble imaginations cannot keep up with my real life?"

Answer: Glider

His success thus far has come from selling tens of thousands of "Mr. Sock" sock puppets...invented right at the 4077.
