-->'''Klinger:''' It's no contest. Neither one of ya... You guys don't even make the first cut. I'm tryin' to tell my uncle what kind of a place I work in. Doctors, nurses, savin' lives. I got a commanding officer who dresses me up in his clothes and sits me on a horse named Sophie so he can paint his own picture. There's a priest writing war ditties and a snooty major who pays me 20 bucks to follow him out in the woods and watch him blow up a pigeon with a land mine. And if that doesn't do it for ya, I got a head nurse who shoots unarmed luggage. All you two guys do is walk around all day tellin' jokes. What the hell's so funny about ''that''?

* ContinuityNod: Uncle Abdul is cited as one of his bilingual relatives in "[[Recap/MashS7E27TheParty The Party]]", so it only makes sense that Klinger would write to him so that he could share with his parents.
