A Section 8 would get him out of the Army by declaring him insane. Other attempts by Klinger included trying to eat a jeep, trying to convince people that he was pregnant, and trying to overeat to gain too much weight to be in the Army.

Jamie Farr was also on "The Love Boat", and "After MASH". He also made game show appearances on shows like "Super Password".
