Klinger - The man, the myth, the legend


Since I went crazy and decided to abandon a perfectly successful career to become a nurse, I've come to realize the greatness of Klinger. Listen to some quotes from the Master:

Trapper: Klinger, how can you wear just a skirt on a cold day like this?
Klinger: You think it's easy being a nut?

Frank: Klinger! I want to see you out of that dress!
Klinger: Never on a first date, sir!

Frank: How dare you wear that hat while in uniform?
Klinger: It's spring, sir!

Officer: Klinger, I'm here to relieve you.
Klinger: Good. Undo my bra.

Frank: What are those earrings doing in your ears?
Klinger: Just hanging there, sir.

Klinger: These low heels are killing me.


Ah, Klinger, you hairy-legged wordsmith you! As Isaac Newton once said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants."

I ask you, where would we crazy male nurses be - struggling through classes, waiting for acceptance letters, learning about sodium/potassium pumps, loose connective tissue and the bulbospongiosus - without this great role model to inspire us?

We are doing this so some day we can have bodily fluids we never even knew existed splashed all over our shoes. When we finally achieve that dream, let us remember that pioneer who blazed the trail we each follow. God bless you, Klinger!

You can work with me anyday..................

Thank you for the smiles and the memories. Remember the first time that I saw the movie. And that was before the series.

Ya'll should check out the book The Complete Book of M*A*S*H* by Suzy Kalter [ISBN 0-8109-8083-5]. I still find it hard to believe the final show of the television series was in 1983.

Piggy Bank Re: Klinger - The man, the myth, the legend
That was great!!! I always blame "too many episodes of M*A*S*H" for the reason that I became a nurse.

A little FYI...

Farr thought at first the women's wardrobe in his dressing room meant he'd be sharing the room with a woman, but was surprised to learn otherwise. Not wanting to play a cross-dresser in the typical girlish way, he suggested to the producers that his character be manly, but crazy, thinking his clothes and other quirks were normal. The unusual spin worked.
