Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The scene: Korea, 1953. The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, currently located a few miles outside of Uijongbu, just north of Seoul. We're inside the tent of Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, the Head Nurse of the 4077th MASH. A woman of strong contrasts, Major Houlihan's tent reflects its sole resident. The tent and its furnishings are austere and pure army-issue, obviously the quarters of a veteran, no-nonsense Army Medical Corps professional. Yet there is no doubt this tent also houses a woman of burning passions; the flimsy negligee and silk stockings drying on the line hardly seem out of place alongside the Major's formidable white bras and olive drab uniforms. Perhaps we should have heeded the warning posted on the door: "Knock Before Entering". Now that the Major has returned and sternly evicted us from the premises, how do we find our way back to Hot Lips' tent, and its captivating occupant?
