* From "[[Recap/MashS2E23MailCall Mail Call]]", Klinger's (fake) letters from his family. Especially the scene in which Henry Blake reads from an extensive group of letters requesting that he be given a discharge because various people are dying or pregnant. In the last, half the family was dying, the other half was pregnant.
-->'''Blake''': Klinger, aren't you ashamed of yourself?\\
'''Klinger''': Yes, sir. ''[{{beat}}]'' I don't ''deserve'' to be in the army.

-->'''Klinger:''' "Dear son..."\\
'''Henry:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You obviously haven't sent her a recent picture.]]\\
'''Klinger:''' ''[gives Henry a little side-eye, and then continues reading]'' "I hate to bother you in the middle of a war, but I have some terrible news. Your father is very sick." ''[Klinger looks up at Henry and [[CrocodileTears sobs]], and Henry just looks at him with a bored expression. Klinger continues reading]'' "If he knew I was writing to you, he'd be very angry. Fortunately for us, he's in a coma." ''[Klinger stops reading, looks at Blake, who obviously still has a look of total apathy on his face]'' Sir, please. ''[resumes reading]'' "I know your colonel has a good heart, and surely he'll let you come home for your father's funeral,
or his 65th birthday, [[CrossesTheLineTwice whichever comes first]]. I will close this letter now, son of my heart, as my tears are making the paper soggy and hard to write on. Your loving, aggravated, broken-hearted mother."\\
'''Henry:''' Uh-huh. ''[Henry turns and pulls a thick folder out of his desk]'' Here we go. The father dying, right?\\
'''Klinger:''' Yes, sir. ''[Klinger starts [[CrocodileTears crying]]. Henry opens the folder and starts reading through all of Klinger's previous letters.]''
'''Henry:''' Father dying last year. Mother dying last year. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Mother]] ''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs and]]'' [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs father dying]]. Mother, father, and older sister dying. Mother dying and older sister
pregnant. In the last, half Older sister dying and mother pregnant. Younger sister pregnant and older sister dying. Here's an oldie but a goodie: Half of the family was dying, the other half was pregnant.
-->'''Blake''':
pregnant. ''[closes the folder]'' Klinger, aren't you ashamed of yourself?\\
'''Klinger''': '''Klinger:''' Yes, sir. ''[{{beat}}]'' [[RefugeInAudacity I don't ''deserve'' deserve to be in the army.Army.]]
