'M*A*S*H' - 'Iron Guts Kelly' Trivia Quiz

Answer: He gets his gum stuck to his hat

In a scene that simply captures the essence of Henry, he and Radar are simply discombobulated at the thought of General Kelly visiting. Henry takes a drink of vodka to disguise the smell of bourbon on his breath. When this doesn't work, he takes a piece of gum from Radar, but suddenly realizes that he can't be seen chewing bubble gum in front of a general.

In the process of disgarding it, the gum gets stuck on his hand, and in turn, on his hat.

Answer: Gunfire

When the General announces his longing for gunfire, Henry suggests that he can order some men to begin firing over at the rifle range. The General seems pleased by this, likening the sound of gunfire to 'music'.

Answer: Myocardial infarction

Technically, it was a massive M.I., but in reality, twas Margaret that was simply too much for him!

During the frustrating process, Colonel Wortman asks Radar if he knows where there is some 'action' going on. Radar replies that there's usually something happening at Rosie's place.

Answer: A star

Frank sits on one of the General's stars, and immediately Margaret is on the defensive. She makes up an elaborate story about how the General visited her tent because he has a niece who wants to become an army nurse. He wanted to know what a nurse's tent looked like.

Answer: Ambulance accident

The General's body has been loaded into an ambulance on Colonel Wortman's orders, but the ambulance takes off without his authorization. Henry picks up the phone in the office and discovers that the ambulance has gone over an embankment. Several Korean 'working girls' were inside, and they were relatively unhurt, but the General has been 'killed' (again).

Answer: Robert

'Major General Robert 'Iron Guts' Kelly is gonna perish in a full-scale, blazing, all-out, glorious, star-spangled death,' Colonel Wortman proclaims. When Henry incredulously confers with Hawkeye and Trapper about Wortman's plan, the two doctors confirm it. 'That's crazy,' says Henry.

Answer: True

At the end of the episode, Colonel Wortman calls Kelly a 'major general', but in the 'Stars & Stripes' that Trapper reads, he is listed as a 'lieutenant general'. The newspaper is correct, a three-star general (the number of stars Kelly wears) is called a lieutenant general.
