Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Naked

Margaret announces that she will place Radar on report for 'uncovering an officer's leg'. Radar denies touching her leg, claiming it 'was naked when [he] came in'. Margaret screams, 'How dare you say 'naked' to me?!' and then exclaims, 'Stop staring at my leg!' Radar's reaction, 'I'm not! I am!' Margaret's next line is quite surprising: 'Don't you wish you could all the time - stare at it and touch it and feel it?!' Radar answers, 'Oh, no ma'am!' Margaret, offended, asks, 'You don't find it attractive?' Radar responds, 'Oh, yes ma'am, it's a beautiful leg.

It reminds me of my pony back home only his hair's brown.' All this just to inform Margaret that she's wanted in the O.R.!

2. An ambulance arrives at the compound with several wounded G.I.s and their colonel. What is the surname of this colonel who is 'bats' about his sidearm?

Answer: Colonel Chaffey

Radar takes the Colonel's sidearm and places it where he believes it will be safe in the camp gun bin. This is standard operating procedure, according to Radar. The Colonel's six-shooter is chrome, with a bone grip, according to BJ.

Answer: John Wayne

Radar does his best John Wayne impression with the line, 'You better believe it mister or you're dead where you stand!' Frank finds Radar's excellent impression to be completely unbelievable. Later, when Radar is drunk, he repeats the line, albeit incorrectly: 'You better believe it mister or I'm dead where you stand!' Radar also does a John Wayne imitation in the season five episode 'Movie Tonight'.

Answer: Colt

The Colonel owns an 1884 Colt .45 revolver, perhaps America's all-time most famous handgun. BJ responds that the receipt for his gun is in a small pack with his other personal effects. Little does the Colonel know, but his beloved Colt is in the hands of a known menace - Frank Burns!

Answer: 15 years

A whopping 15 years, according to Colonel Potter! Radar doesn't like this idea, suggesting that he'll be in his 30s. According to Radar, 'That's almost dead!' Potter turns to Father Mulcahy to pray for the missing gun. Mulcahy asks, 'Is it at least American?'

Answer: An entire 'blue movie' collection

By 'a ton of moonshine equipment' Potter could not possibly be referring to Hawkeye's beloved still, could he? Colonel Chaffey asks about the 'non-com-poop' who was in charge of guarding the gun bin. Potter lets him know that Radar is in charge of such things. Chaffey announces that he wants Radar's head on a platter.

7. That evening, we find Radar talking with Klinger, and the former appears quite drunk. When Klinger requests to know how many beers Radar has had, how does he respond?

Answer: One

Radar redefines the word 'lightweight', don't you think? It looks as though Radar hasn't even completed his first beer either, he is still working on it. Throughout the series, Radar's tolerance for alcohol seems to fluctuate depending on the comedic needs of the particular episode.

8. According to the drunken Radar, 'I'm going to jail in my ________, and I won't come out till my adultery.' Which of the following words completes the Radar quote?

Answer: Puberty

Radar is a master of the English language, and once again displays his linguistic acumen here. He also laments the fact that his earthworms will be 'dead and buried'.

9. In his infinite wisdom, Frank decides to sneak into the supply room and replace the Colonel's gun in the gun bin.

Answer: True

Frank actually makes an intelligent decision for once. Unfortunately, his luck goes awry when the gun discharges and grazes his foot. Margaret knows full well that Frank has stolen the gun and accuses him of doing just that. At first he denies it, but then he admits that he has 'done a terrible thing'. The moral for Frank: 'When you steal something don't ever try to return it.'

Answer: False

In actuality, Colonel Chaffey has no intention of parting with his gun, announcing that he will keep it until he dies. In one of my favorite little 'M*A*S*H' moments, after the Colonel's jeep leaves, Radar complains to Potter that he has a hangover, because everything seems 'blurry'. Potter complains of the same problem.

They discover that they are wearing each other's glasses! Thank you for playing this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it and will try my other 'M*A*S*H' quizzes.
