Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Radar makes his regular rounds with the latest shipment of mail from back home. One of his first stops is in the Swamp, where Hawkeye and Trapper greedily await packages from home. What special item has come in Trapper's package from his two beautiful daughters?

Answer: Cookies

Trapper gushes over a photo of his two daughters, Kathy and Becky. They have taken it upon themselves to prepare cookies for their father. Hawkeye apparently disapproves of this semi-edible product of their paternal love.
2. Hawkeye is also the happy recipient of a package from home. Who has been generous enough to knit Hawkeye a lovely sweater?

Answer: His sister

Though in future episodes, Hawkeye refers to himself as an only child, in this episode he miraculously conjures up a sister. Whomever she may be, her sewing skills need a great deal of work. The sweater is cavernous and one of the arms seems a whole lot longer than the other.
3. To Henry's office Radar goes, with a pile of letters and packages for the commanding officer of the 4077th. Among the mailings received by Henry is a postcard from a massage parlor in Tokyo. What special type of 'treatment' do they offer at this seedy joint that practically mesmerizes Radar?

Answer: Back walking

As Henry flips through his mailings, Radar seems fixated on the back walking that they do at Madame Wank's 'Casa de Massage'. He goes so far as to dig the postcard out of the trash, holding onto it for future reference.
4. Henry is excited to find a larger box from home. What delicious culinary item does Henry imagine will be in this indistinct package?

Answer: Chocolate cake

Henry fantasizes about his wife's chocolate cake, which requires sour cream and chocolate as ingredients, and is topped with two inches of frosting. Instead, he gets a pile of checks, bills and assorted financial documents...his wife wants him to balance the family's finances.
5. In Margaret's tent, Margaret discusses Frank's most recent postal revelation. It seems that Frank has become $2,000 richer, and has doubled his money since the war began. When Margaret starts talking marriage, Frank immediately begins fretting about his wife. What about Frank's wife does Hot Lip ridicule, snapping old Ferret Face out of his mini-anxiety attack?

Answer: Her sensible shoes

Margaret has received new sheer panty hose and spiked-heel shoes, something she contrasts with Frank's wife's 'sensible shoes' after Frank starts worrying about his marriage. It seems that Frank wants to be with Margaret, but he is still not rich enough to afford 'both a wife and an ex-wife'.
6. Klinger enters Henry's office with a lovely new dress and a concerned look on his face. It seems that the Lebanese corporal has received some tough news from home. What family member is sick, according to this new letter from home?

Answer: His father

Truth be told, nobody is sick in Klinger's family, and this is just the latest in a dozen or so attempts to trick the jaded Colonel Blake. When Henry asks Klinger if he is ashamed of himself, Klinger responds, 'Yes, sir. I don't deserve to be in the army.'
7. After hearing that Frank's wartime investments have been paying off, Hawkeye decides to play a dirty little trick on his Swampmate. He hides a letter under his pillow that Frank discovers. In this phony letter, what company's stock is touted by Hawkeye's father?

Answer: Pioneer Aviation

Hawkeye formulates a phony letter from his father that includes a stock tip given to his dad by a certain Senator Magid. The letter ends, '[The stock] is sure to go as high as...' Frank frantically searches for the last page, to no avail.
8. Radar has also been the recipient of an interesting bit of mail, this one from a new pen pal. Among the following, which is not a part of the description that Radar had provided in a previous letter?

Answer: Corporal

Radar described himself as an army captain and a surgeon, six foot two inches tall with smooth black hair...in other words, as Hawkeye. When Hawkeye hears this, he is a bit disappointed in Radar, and asks him why he has done this. 'Because I got brown hair and I'm two foot six,' replies Radar.
9. After stealing Hawkeye's letter with the stock tip, Frank goes to Radar and has him send a telegram to his stockbroker. Following this, he immediately goes to Margaret's tent. Does he ask Margaret to marry him?

Answer: No

Indeed, not. Rather, he suggests that he will purchase an apartment for Margaret near his practice, and give her a monthly stipend of $100 (as compared to the $400 a month she makes with the army). Needless to say, Margaret is peeved and shows Frank the door.
10. Trapper realizes how much he misses his kids after having seen their faces in the photo they have sent him. In a drunken state, he decides to stuff his belongings in a duffle bag and take off. Besides clothing, of what other item does he take a rather profuse amount?

Answer: Toilet paper

Wherever he ends up, he wants to be prepared, thus the toilet paper. When Hawkeye questions him about having taken so many rolls, Trapper suggests, 'I don't want to go home empty handed.' Hawkeye attempts to stop Trapper at the door of the Swamp. 'I don't want to use violence,' says Hawkeye. Trapper responds, 'Then I will,' and he bumps Hawkeye aside with his dufflebag.
