Why don't they just go home? (Wrong Answers Only) (self.mash)

Just about every episode of MASH I've seen, somebody claims that they hate Korea, or that they hate the stupid Army, or that they don't even know why they're at war. I don't get it. Why don't they all go home? If nobody wants to work there, how come they never leave?

Please respond with wrong answers.

I'll start: they don't want to leave Korea because the California mountains are too beautiful.

Klinger is secretly an agent sent to discourage anybody trying get out on phony section 8 discharges.

Sparky and Sofie are having an affair.

Hot Lips.

I asked for wrong answers, but that's good too.

You're supposed to ask why Hot Lips is there.

[–] randomdeadguy 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah! Why is Hot Lips there anyway?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I'm glad you asked. Hot Lips Houlihan, the woman who could talk a snake out of its skin, is staying in Vietnam. She's hawking war bonds to grunts! I swear she could sell ice cream to an Eskimo.

Everyone wants to know where Spearchucker went. They're afraid to leave anyone behind.

[–] randomdeadguy 2 points 2 months ago

Spearchucker Jones was either shot down over the Sea of Japan, or he was on that prequel spin-off with Ugly John, Before MASH

Rosie's bar has been micro-dosing everyone with opium. They get "home sick" when they try to leave camp for more than a day or two. The doctors and hot lips know. But the addiction has them too far gone to fight it anymore.

"Be it ever so crumbled, there is no place like home." Darkest one so far. Awesome!

At least Radar got out!

Too little too late! Legend has it, he could never look a bottle of Grape Nehi in the eye again

Hawkeye’s booze is better and cheaper than they can get in the States

That's why Colonel Potter and B.J. were hooked immediately!
