Answer:
Hawkeye's own long-johns
"The Long-John Flap" (first aired February 17, 1973) was episode 19 in the first season of "MASH", which had an original run from 1972 to 1983, and which can still be seen in syndication around the world. This was the first of many episodes to be written by Alan Alda, who also played the part of Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, one of the madcap surgeons in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit that provides the title of the series as well as its setting.
The series was set in the Korean War, and this episode concerned the difficulty of living in tents during the cold Korean winters. Everyone was freezing cold except Hawkeye, who received a pair of long-johns (thermal underwear) sent from Maine by his father. The long-johns formed the basis for a series of comic incidents reminiscent of a French farce. When Trapper got sick, Hawkeye gave the long-johns to him to speed his recovery; Trapper lost them to Radar in a poker game; Radar traded them to the cook for a hot roast lamb dinner; the cook bribed Frank to overlook the unsanitary kitchen conditions; Frank gave them to Margaret as a sign of his affection; Klinger stole them from Margaret's tent, then gave them to Father Mulcahy in a fit of remorse; Father Mulcahy gave them to Henry for safekeeping, and Henry was wearing them when he suffered an attack of appendicitis. After Hawkeye successfully removed the offending appendix, Henry gratefully returned his long-johns.
