It was all an elaborate ruse by B.J., designed to drive Hawkeye crazy - every single joke perpetrated on Winchester, Potter, et al., were all phony. so much that it inspires the rest of them to admit the real truth - none of them were actually pranked. The next morning, everyone reconvenes in the Mess Tent, and a weathered, tired-looking Hawkeye is smug about not having been pranked by B.J. ItВ gets so bad that Hawkeye can't even sleep, spending the night surrounded by a fence made of barbed wire, golf club in hand, twitching at every sound. The build-up of suspense drives Hawkeye nuts - he treats everyone he encounters like they are part of B.J.'s elaborate prank, even a visiting doctor from the 8063rd (Clyde Kusatsu), who thinks Hawkeye is completely insane. Soon after, Margaret (has a section of her bathrobe cut away at the back), Father Mulcahy (hot sauce in food), and Klinger (explosive planted in the file cabinet) fall victim to B.J., too. This sets Hawkeye on edge, convinced that if he keeps his eye on B.J. The next day starts off with a prank being pulled on Winchester (who wakes up to find a live snake in his cot), followed quickly by one on Potter (whose toothpaste has been replaced with shaving cream). is going to kick it off, but he demurs, saying he doesn't go in for that sort of thing - it's only something the 'legendary Trapper' could pull off.

to surmise that Trapper was such a genius that he could pull a gag on everyone in the next 24 hours, with each victim having to do a striptease on top of a table while singing 'You're The Tops.'Д®veryone wonders when B.J. pulls another tired gag on Margaret in the Mess Tent, and the discussion again turns to 'the good old days', which inspires B.J. He brags about the classic jokes he and Trapper pulled, which seems to make B.J. He's not bothered by being the butt of a joke, just its tired premise. pulls a prank on Hawkeye in the Swamp, which Hawkeye thinks is utterly lame. Will they get him too? Or is Hawkeye already the victim of an even larger practical joke?Д«.J.

This time, Hawkeye appears to be the marked man afterВ menial practical jokes happen to everyone in camp, but him.
