Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Radar receives an important call in his office while the medical staff is hard at work in the O.R. After summoning Henry, what is the name of the very musical surgeon who takes over at Colonel Blakes table in the O.R.?

Answer: Spaulding

Captain Calvin Spalding, aka singer/actor Loudon Wainwright III makes his third and final appearance on 'M*A*S*H' in this episode. All three of his appearances were during season three. He composes a cute song for Douglas MacArthur during the episode.
2. Henry is pleased as punch after answering the telephone call. It seems that Douglas MacArthur himself will make a brief visit to the 4077th. Which of these is not a two-word phrase that Henry uses to describe 'Big Mac'?

Answer: Head honcho

Henry's giddy behavior leads him to spew various nonsense about General MacArthur's arrival. He calls MacArthur the 'big monk', among other things, and continues the description as follows: 'He's the biggest, highest, monkiest of all. They don't come any monkier!' MacArthur is paying this brief visit to the 4077th because it has the best survival rate in all of Korea.
3. Henry is not only excited for the 4077th in general, he also anticipates that MacArthur's visit will boost his personal stock. Henry mentions that he will probably get his picture on the front page of the Bloomington, Illinois newspaper, which is called the 'Daily Bloomington ________'. (Fill in the blank with the appropriate choice)

Answer: Pantagraph

'Daily Bloomington Pantagraph, oh boy, I can just see it, "Supreme Commander inspects local Doctor",' Henry muses to Radar. He continues, excitedly, 'My price for a tonsillectomy just went from 50 to 75 bucks a 'tonse'!'
4. A certain Colonel Whiteman arrives at the 4077th, ahead of General MacArthur, to brief the personnel at the M*A*S*H. When it is suggested that the doctors display their talents for the General, which individual volunteers for surgery?

Answer: Frank

'As adjutant and assistant chief surgeon, I'd like to volunteer,' offers an intrepid Frank Burns. Hawkeye replies, 'Then it's agreed. We'll do a hysterectomy on Major Burns!'

The following dialog also takes place with Colonel Whiteman:

Colonel Whiteman: 'You will address the General only in the following manner. 'Yes, General MacArthur', 'No, General MacArthur', 'Thank you, General MacArthur'.'

Trapper: 'God almighty!'

Hawkeye: 'Close, very close.'
5. In preparation for General MacArthur's arrival, Frank Burns does the sensible thing, he begins burning books. Which of these great works is not among the 'trash' that Frank intends to burn?

Answer: The World Almanac

The priceless dialog:

Trapper: 'Frank! What are you doing?'

Frank: 'Burning books.'

Hawkeye: 'Oh. Any special reason, Dr. Hitler?'

Frank: 'One of the greatest living Americans is coming and I'm not going to let him see some of the trash that's read around here.'

Trapper: 'Plato's Republic? The Life of Red Grange?'

Hawkeye: 'Revolutionaries.'

Frank: 'Right!'

Trapper: 'Robinson Crusoe?'

Hawkeye: 'Everybody runs around half naked.'

Trapper: 'Norman Mailer.'

Frank: 'It's got *that word* in it.'

Hawkeye: 'Frank, you burn one more book, I'm gonna give you a dancing lesson in the mine field. Now, knock it off, gnat brain!'
6. Margaret and Frank pay a visit to the VIP tent, where the General will stay during his time at the 4077th. Everything is clean and crisp, and the two majors are simply thrilled. On the wall is a very large picture of General MacArthur. Whose much smaller picture is right next to MacArthur's picture on the wall?

Answer: Harry Truman

As if to poke fun at General MacArthur's ego, a large picture of the General is juxtaposed against a tiny picture of his boss, Harry Truman, to whom he was politically opposed. For Frank and Margaret, this is perfectly appropriate!
7. Margaret claims that her father fought together with Douglas MacArthur. In what country did these two great Americans fight side-by-side, according to Margaret?

Answer: The Philippines

Margaret claims that her father and MacArthur 'fought the Huks together in the Philippines'. The problem with this is that MacArthur wasn't fighting the Huks when he was in the Philippines, but rather the Japanese. The Huks were Communist guerrilla rebels who also fought against Japanese occupation during World War II. They only turned against U.S. and mainstream Philippine forces after the war, in MacArthur's absence.

Margaret claims that at Christmas her father and General MacArthur exchanged shrunken tribesman's heads. Good lord!
8. During a camp rehearsal for the General's visit, which member of the 4077th staff plays the role of MacArthur?

Answer: Radar

Radar makes an unlikely MacArthur, considering his rather diminutive stature, but he seems to pull it off reasonably well. During the rehearsal, Klinger storms in with one of his loveliest dresses and begs to kiss General Radar's pipe.
9. General MacArthur indeed pays a visit to the 4077th, but does his jeep ever actually stop in the camp?

Answer: No

Unfortunately, despite all the preparations for the General's visit, MacArthur does not even have the courtesy to stop and have an actually visit to the 4077th. Rather, his jeep just drives through and he salutes the M*A*S*H personnel. Radar is still dressed as the General during his very brief visit, but he loses the cornpipe from his mouth when he salutes.
10. Klinger is prepared for the General's arrival at the 4077th. As what American icon is Klinger dressed for MacArthur's visit?

Answer: Statue of Liberty

This is by far Klinger's most outrageous costume during the run of 'M*A*S*H'. Not only is he dressed as the Statue of Liberty, he also has a torch in his hand, complete with sparklers. General MacArthur seems completely unphased by Klinger's outfit, and gives the crazy Corporal a proud salute!
