    I totally agree, BJ was a better straight man. Trapper in the movie was a great character, but Trapper in the TV show was just kind of a lame wisecracker. Not enough contrast between him and Hawkeye for good comedy rapport.

    Yeh, sounds like one of those 100-year old laws that everyone forgot about and no one ever bothered to repeal.

    Or maybe the law was kept on the books by a powerful New Zealand Butter Lobby.

    It pays to be the Son of Sam. Maybe this fact isn't little known. The richest family in the US and the world are the Waltons. The three living children of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, the widow of son John who was killed in a plane crash 9 years ago and the two daughters of Sam's brother Bud are worth a collective $152 Billion. Thats $62 Billion more than the second place Koch Brothers at $89 Billion

    Have you ever noticed how many rich people die in private planes. No thanks, I'll stick with commercial aircraft. I actually knew the grown children of a couple that piloted their own plane across the gulf to Latin America. They went missing over water and were never found.
