Goofs
When first sorting through his bills, Charles reads one out loud "State of Massachusetts." Massachusetts uses the official designation of Commonwealth, and is never referred to as a State on legal forms such as Tax Bills.

Quotes
Klinger: I couldn't sleep, sir. The heat, sir.
Col. Sherman T. Potter: That's one I can buy. It must be extra tropical for you, toting around that permanent vicuna coat.
[Klinger has dismantled the P.A. system]
Col. Sherman T. Potter: Perhaps you would explain the fall out from the Motorola plant.
Klinger: I took the P.A. system apart, sir.
Col. Sherman T. Potter: What in blazes for? We need that contraption.
Klinger: I know that full well, my bleary eyed boss. I figured the middle of the night would be the perfect time to get some on-the-job training for my new mail-order course.
Col. Sherman T. Potter: In what? Office demolition?
Klinger: No, sir, electronics. Some day this little shootout is going to end, and when this Johnny comes marching home, it will be with a screwdriver in his hand.
Col. Sherman T. Potter: You gonna fix radios?
Klinger: No, sir, television. The wave of the future. Which, thanks to good old Yankee know-how, will mean busted sets by the millions. And Max Klinger will be there to reap the whirlwinds of outrageous repair prices.
Col. Sherman T. Potter: Mark this, Marconi: when Reville blows, this system better be working or you'll be spending the rest of this war on the roof, screaming messages at the top of your furry lungs.

SWEAT

It's hot out there, especially in the 4077th. This is like a series of vignettes on a hot night where Charles attempts to sort out his taxes (it helps just in case he runs for higher office I guess). Margaret is desperate for medicine to help out her rash big time. We also learn the PA system is a Motorola.

Jeff Maxwell appears as Igor, and I love listening to his podcast MASH Matters, co-hosted with Jeff Maxwell.

Perren Page plays the driver. In fact he played the driver in several episodes of M*A*S*H, and he died not so long ago, on 2 May 2020.
