> [@Otto](#): > > Reposting my unanswered questions:On Boxing Day, who switched jobs with whom? > > How did Father Mulcahey say he worked his way through seminary? I got one of them: Klinger and Potter switched. I can’t remember who else, though. Winchester was on KP, and Mulcahey was doin laundry, right? Mulchaey had a jokey answer for that - as a B-girl? ---

Right. Hawkeye said that in a certain light Mulcahey looked like a B-gril he knew in San Diego. Mulcahey said it was possible, since he worked his way through seminary as a B-girl in San Diego. ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > I got one of them: Klinger and Potter switched. I can’t remember who else, though. Winchester was on KP, and Mulcahey was doin laundry, right? Mulcahy doing laundry was a different episide, I think. I don’t think they went into much detail about who switched with who other then the ones you mentioned. I imagine Margaret became a lower-ranking nurse. I don’t remember the docs switching with anybody. What did Sgt. Themopoulis do? Who was Hondo McKee? What was Sgt. Prior’s nickname? (Once again) What was Hawkeye’s daughter’s name? Where did Just Plain Steve go to school? Where was Mrs. Klinger’s son stationed? Who was Captain Benjamin Pierce, and what was he famous for? ---

The “other” Captain Pierce was quite the ladies man - he made them laugh. Hawkeye got his mail by mistake and was intriguied by the letters. ---

Forgot one. > [@tdn](#): > > Where was Mrs. Klinger’s son stationed? Klinger told her he was stationed at Fort Dix, but she knew all along he was in Korea. ---

Where did Klinger get the idea to get out of the army on a Section 8 by wearing a dress? What “new rank” gave Radar access to the officer’s club when Hawkeye went to say goodbye to Trapper? How old was Radar’s father when he was born and what happened when they played together when he was a child? ---

From his uncle. Corporal Captain. Sixty? He had a heart attack the first time they played peek-a-boo. ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > Hawkeye didn’t have a daughter, did he? What’s your point? 🆒 In one episide he said “I have a daughter named \_\_\_\_\_\_.” ---

> [@tdn](#): > > From his uncle. > > Corporal Captain. > > Sixty? He had a heart attack the first time they played peek-a-boo. Right on all counts, except it was a stroke. (Actually, I think he just said an amorphous “my dad was in his sixties when I was born” rather than an actual age.) ---

Right on all counts, save this: > [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > All I remember is it starts with an “R” Yep. When Hawkeye placed the call to Chicago for the ribs, he was pretending to be a reporter. “What is your name, sir? For the article. Resznick? That’s a lovely name, Mr. Resznick. I have a daughter named Resznick.” ---

When Potter lost his driver’s license, what was he just 2 months away from paying off? What was his concern about it? What was Mulcahy’s sister’s nickname? What did Mildred play? ---
