Machine Gun? Pizza Box?

On M.A.S.H., Hawkeye is frustrated by having to wait days for the results of cultures that are sent off to Tokyo.

 

When he asks Henry Blake to request the Army to supply them with an incubator, they are informed by an officer named Sloan that it is not on their "basic equipment list", so it would be considered a "luxury".

 

(from "The Incubator")

Hawkeye: "We're not asking for a jukebox or...or a pizza oven."

Sloan: "Oh, those I can let you have."

Henry: "No kidding! Hey, those would be great on movie nights. Uh, you got any pizza requisition forms?"

Sloan: "Oh just use the standard S-1798 and write in 'pizza' where it says 'machine gun'."

The shame of it for me is that I've always loved MASH then read that on the errata, go to the page, not find it. Then get reminded by Steve of the quote.

It was definitely a HOmer Moment.

I can actually see the entire scene in my mind since I was reminded and knew wheere to look.
