Winchester takes the phone from Father Mulcahy to help Radar's mom with the cow
who is in labor (Radar's mom was troubled by the fact that Mulcahy is
Catholic); so Winchester says, "Yes, I am a doctor, but I'm a Presbytarian ...
is that okay?" I think it is his snide delivery that makes it so amusing :-)

Someone asked CEW what time it is in Kansas. He said 1850. (Might not be exact
year)

I think that's from "The Foresight Saga", where they main cast, even
Houlihan and Winchester (who never said a kind word to Radar in seven
M*A*S*H war years), go to call Radar on the phone. Someone asks what time is
it in Iowa. Winchster says "About 1850".
And for what it's worth, I get my parrot movies from Indiana, not Cuba.
That's where the confusion was. My fault ;)

Radar writes to them from home and says his farm is thriving, and will probably
expand, to which Charles drolly replies "Today, Ottumwa, tomorrow ----------

His tirade in the first or second episode he's in is pretty good:
"You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates, you can torture me
with your thrice daily swill, but you can not stifle the spirit of a
Winchester! My voice will be heard from this fetid and festering
cesspool!"
I also like the sotto voce "Corporal, fix the phone," while he's
talking to Potter.
And, finally, my motto in life comes from Winchester: "Don't think I'm
doing this because I'm generous, or worse, amiable."
Cheers,

Brad Filippone
A great Charles moment was in the epsode when he's hoarding water and
Hawkeye and BJ catch him in the shower. He tries to chase them out and is
greeting by catcalls, etc. by the rest of the camp. He retreats back into
the shower and the expression on his face is perfect. He maintains the
Winchester 'dignity' as back as he can even though it just took a blow.

My two favourite Charles moments are:
1) In the episode where Hawkeye goes away and is replaced by Dupres. He's
hanging up the sign pointing the way to Boston when he sees BJ looking bored.
"So, do you miss your partner in perversion?"
2) In the episode where they call Radar: "You know I never thought I would miss
old Radar......I was right of course."

Replacing Burns with Winchester meant that they really couldn't use Flagg
anymore. Flagg had to have enough people around that took him seriously for
him to work. At that point in the series this was no longer possible.

Except that this is a hilarious episode. I like to think that Flagg
realised he'd met his match with Charles (actually he had with Hawkeye,
Trapper and BJ but he didn't notice) and decided to avoid the 4077th.

That line reminds me of a much older radio comedy. The Bickersons. Also spoken
of by Dago Red in the pilot movie.
A married couple, John and Blanche, (Dan Ameche and Francis Langford) engaged
in many spirited verbal jousts.
In one of their arguments (at three o'clock in the morning) John tell Blanche
to turn the lights out and come to bed. She says she hasn't finished her face
yet. John utters: YOUR FACE IS FINISHED! ...and the fight is on!

Maybe not "better" but an easier whippin' post and that's just it. CEW was a

Dave, I'm not sure how familiar you are with usenet, but please quote
correctly.
1) It seems that you were making a follow up to another posting than
mine. Make sure that you are replying to the right message (person) in
the thread.
2) Only quote the text from the previous message that you are replying
to. All of the other text should be removed (including signatures).
3) Do NOT include any quoting-tags (in this case '>') in front of the
your own new text. Any text with an '>' in front of it is assumed as a
quote from an earlier posting. This makes your messages hard to read.
In short, a message should look something like this:

Greetings from third person
[Signature here, no longer than 4-5 lines]
--------------------------------------------------------
Just a friendly tip, Dave. It all helps making your postings easier to
read and that increases the chance that people will respond to them.
:)
At least Dave didn't top post, another sin that has been comitted on
this group lately. That was a hint for the rest of you, although
everybody should take the advice above to heart. :)

Sorry Elf, but if you're going to net-cop, I have to point out that
your sig is fairly long at six lines, and your signature separator is
malformed. Sig-seps should be "-- " alone on one line. That's dash,
dash, space, and a carriage return.
Otherwise, I agree with your general reply.
