“What practical jokes did BJ not play on Charles, Potter, Margaret, Mulcahy, and Klinger?”

Mulcahy’s wasn’t spiked with choking spices or similar noxious chemicals. Hawkeye: “You poisoned a priest!”  
I’m going to label these for ease of use and suggest others do the same:

BE1: Who has a stuttering relative?

BE2: What skill that Hawkeye can normally do without thinking becomes near-impossible with a broken arm?

BE3: What did Major Burns arrange (during his brief command between Blake and Potter) “only for inspection.”

BE4: “That is not a hook…”

BE5: “Him, him, him, him, and him.”

BE6: “Can you identify yourself?”

BE7: “Over hill, over dale…” (all three endings)
