Something to the effect of “A police action is giving out speeding tickets and blowing whistles. Over here, it’s a war.”  
Easy one: what did Charles put in the Australian MP’s coffee-cup that led to the (brief) closing of Rosie’s Bar?

Coffee.

Why did Rosie water down the drinks? What side effect did this have?

Where is Little Chicago?

“A lotta bark came off old number three”–spoken by a very inebriated Col. Blake.Looking back, I see I still have 4 unanswered questions from page 1: [ul]  
[li]W1) Which actor who played a policeman in another series had a cameo as an MP? (Hint: a rather old MP)[/li][li]W2) What religion is Donald Penobscott? (Hint: He asks Mulcahy, “Father, do you do [blank]?”[/li][li]W7) What is the nickname of Sgt. Urbancik, the pro bowler? (Hint: it includes the name of a city)[/li][li]W8) What does MARS stand for? (Hint: same episode as the previous question)[/li][/ul]
