What freaked me out was seeing reference in "Networking for Dummies" to
Colonel Flagg (resident CIA paranoid from M*A*S*H) hiding in garbage
cans while searching for commies. For the life of me, I couldn't
remember that scene, and I've seen every episode of M*A*S*H numerous
times...
The scary part was that that night's rerun happened to be that very
episode...
Your friend and mine,
Matt
