George,

 GP> Yup, I watch it weekly. . . Such intricate plans long before McGyver!

  Werner Klemperer, who played Colonel Klink, lamented the fact that that's
what he'd be known for. He was also a great conductor of classical music
orchestras.

  There are so many funny points, but here are a few of them:

1) He thought this one individual had a scratch across his face. It never
occurred to him that his monacle was scratched.

2) He was always being told by General Burkhalter that "my sister is
available".

3) He thought he was going to be transferred to the Russian Front, and
Major Hockschteder (sp?) screamed "Klink!! If I sent you to the Russian
Front, I would be shot for treason!!".

4) They were at the Hauserhof Tavern, and trying to get information on
"The Nordon Bomb"...but it was actually a vaccum cleaner.  His
secretary was actually Bob Crane's wife (he was Colonel Hogan). Klink
was such a klutz in dancing, and the fraulein said she couldn't dance
anymore. Hogan said "I haven't danced in years", and she said "I thought
you'd never ask!!". The next shot, you see Bob Crane and his wife (Hogan
and the fraulein) dancing together, and Hogan says "Careful, Honey...
you're steaming up Klink's monacle!!" .

5) The Stalag 13 Theatre, where Klink had to listen real close to the
radio, as the audio was so low. Then, musically, they went from very
soft to very loud, in their rendition of Beer Barrel Polka. It about
blew the headphones off Klink's head. 

  There were so many other funny episodes and things that they did.

 GP> Their favourite German expressions are Jahvohl, Raus, & Schnell. (one
 GP> of those last two means "hurry")

 GP> I'm 5'11 1/2, but tell everyone I'm 6'0"

  My late wife said she was 4 10 -- and a couple of decimal points.

 GP> I ordered the German prisoner to tell me the answer to 3*3; he said,
 GP> "Nein!"; I'm confused.

  I liked the one where they're being taught Yes and No in Russian. And,
who should be right in the midst?? Sargeant Schultz (who was a sucker
for LeBeau's streudel ).

 GP> Spouses are like world wars.
 GP> You never refer to them as the "first" until there's a second.

  I saw a blooper today where this gentleman had passed away. The
obituary noted "in lieu of flowers, please make contributions to
his daughter-in-law, so she can buy the big screen TV that his
widow wants".
