Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Radar writes to his mother that he finally got a pet, despite the fact that he has numerous cages full of animals (including rabbits, a skunk, and a large tortoise) outside his office. Maybe he doesn't consider wild animals to be pets?

Quotes:

Hawkeye: What a unique device, the human tush. An architectural wonder, one of a kind... actually two of a kind. Designed to support our weight for a lifetime of sitting it also has the subtlety to do the samba. And when attached to certain members of the female species at a time when light summer dresses are worn can cause some of us to drive our cars straight up a lamppost.
