I have to agree with you. People should never assume a books story line by it's title. And sometimes humor is the only thing that will keep you sane in horrific situations.


I just read it again last month. There is a sequel "Mash Goes to Maine" also written by Hooker. The other so called sequels were ghost written by WEB Griffin writing under his own name, William E Butterworth and they are not the same. Do not ask me how I know this.
