Here's a sample of what you'll win...

Entries continue for Ken’s Komedy Kontest (for details click here or scroll down to yesterday’s post). Some pretty good ones. Can you beat them?

For more incentive, here is just a sample from the AfterMASH script YOU COULD WIN!!! Dated Judy 24, 1984, written by Ken Levine & David Isaacs, complete with hard-to-find red cover. The episode is called “Trials”. Stateside Klinger is on trial for busting out of jail or something.

INT COURTROOM – DAY

Potter is on the stand. The Prosecuting Attorney stands before him. He holds a piece of paper for reference.

PROSECUTOR
Colonel Potter, you were the defendant’s company commander in Korea. Is that right?

POTTER
And never a finer soldier served under me.

PROSECUTOR
When did he first start wearing dresses?

KLINGER’S LAWYER (standing)
Objection, Your Honor. We are trying Mr. Klinger on his current problems… Not his past ones.

JUDGE (to Potter)
He wore dresses?

POTTER
Not all the time, Your Honor.

JUDGE
Objection overruled. Mr. Miller, I want to get to know this fellow.

PROSECUTOR
Colonel Potter, this habit of wearing women’s clothing, you didn’t find it odd, or disturbing?

POTTER
Well, at first I was a bit taken aback… especially the baby-dolls with the poodle slippers… but after some of the other things I saw in Korea, I was think’ about sportin’ a pinafore myself.

ANGLE ON MILDRED (Potter’s wife) and SOON-LEE (Klinger’s wife)

MILDRED
All those dresses I gave away to the church when I could have been helping our boys overseas.

SOON—LEE
It was an ugly war in so many ways.

PROSECUTOR
According to his service records, during his tour of duty, Mr. Klinger applied to you for a Section eight – i.e., a mental discharge – fifty-seven times. Why was one never granted?

KLINGER’S LAWYER (turning to Klinger)
Fifty-seven times?

KLINGER
A hundred and four, counting Colonel Blake. I loved that man.

POTTER
The boy wasn’t crazy.

PROSECUTOR
No? Then what was trying to do?

POTTER
He was just afraid. Besides, I wasn’t about to lose one of my best, most responsible corpsmen.

PROSECUTOR
He once ate a jeep.

KLINGER (jumping up)
I object! That jeep was Army property. You can’t try me for that!

JUDGE
Sit him down.

PROSECUTOR (reading further)
…Picked up by M.P.’s in the Inchon River with a rubber raft that he claimed was going to take him across the Pacific to San Francisco.

POTTER
A lesser man would have stolen that raft. He signed for it.

PROSECUTOR
He tried to set himself on fire… walked around with an imaginary camel… wet his bed… played with dolls… sent pictures of himself dressed as Rita Hayworth to seven Generals…

KLINGER’S LAWYER (to Klinger)
You didn’t?!

MULCAHY (leaning in)
He still gets a single rose from General Meachum every Flag Day.

PROSECUTOR (reading on)
…Posed as Moses… a nun... the Statue of Liberty… tried to fly out of Korea on a hang glider made of bamboo poles and canvas?

KLINGER
They never let you forget.

PROSECUTOR
Colonel Potter, didn’t you do anything to curb this unbelievable behavior?

POTTER
Yes, I did

A moment of silence.

PORSECUTOR
Well?

POTTER
I promoted him.
