"Coleman Hawkins, right?" (S4E1 Welcome to Korea Part 1)
After they pick up BJ and sneak Radar into the O-club with BJ's insignia, the colonel confronts them and Hawkeye riffs an excuse with "corporal captain" experimental rank. BJ responds (like he did with "Rudyard Kipling" and "Auto Club" earlier), "Coleman Hawkins, right?" I assumed that was a reference to Hawkeye's improvising a story, much like a jazz musician (Coleman Hawkins was a jazz saxophonist). Any thoughts?
