* HotBlooded: Margaret loses her temper in pretty much every scene she's in in this episode, and for good reason: Frank claimed to not have her ring, she too was angry at Stratton for running his souvenir business, and she not only found her ring in Frank's foot locker but also found the inscription he'd put on it ''for his wife''.

Hawkeye and B.J. bristle at the presence of a chopper pilot who sells war souvenirs and recruits kids to retrieve old shells and casings to make them from. Frank angers Margaret by refusing to return a ring she gave him so she can give it to Donald, and nearly gets in trouble with the [=MPs=] for buying a medieval Korean vase from an antiquities smuggler. Col. Potter sees opportunity in Klinger's latest Section 8 scheme.
!!Attention, all personnel! As you search for souvenirs, keep an eye out for the following tropes:
* ActuallyIAmHim: When Col. Potter is asked about the soldier who swallowed twenty-two goldfish to set the previous record, Potter responds with, "I was sick as a dog for a week."
* BrickJoke: Col. Potter tells Klinger he can either break the pole-sitting record or swallow twenty-four goldfish, adding "The first eighteen are easy."
* {{Determinator}}: Klinger tries to give up on his pole-sitting stunt after two days, but Potter tells him he's already halfway towards beating the record. Klinger gets his second wind and stays up for the rest of the episode while taking on some creature comforts (like warm clothes) after his Section 8 stunt had been to sit up there in the cold.
* ExactWords: After setting a new pole-sitting record, Klinger laments that some day someone else will come along and break it. Potter points out the way the record was set:
-->'''Col. Potter''': In an imitation fur stole and army boots? Not a chance!
* JerkAss: Frank is at his worst in this episode and crosses into outright criminal behavior. First by stealing the ruby ring Margaret gave to him and having it inscribed to give to his wife. Second by attempting to mail back a vase he bought from a junk dealer that ended up being a stolen antique rather than returning it to the MP. He could have easily been arrested for both.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Stratton is an asshole, but he's not wrong in calling [[RightlySelfRighteous Hawkeye]] "the Jiminy Cricket of Korea".
* HotBlooded: Margaret loses her temper in pretty much every scene she's in in this episode, and for good reason: Frank claimed to not have her ring, she too was angry at Stratton for running his souvenir business, and she not only found her ring in Frank's foot locker but also found the inscription he'd put on it ''for his wife''.
* PetTheDog: Colonel Potter rewards Klinger with a 3-day pass to Tokyo for breaking the pole-sitting record.
* WeHaveReserves: Stratton tells Hawkeye and B.J. that he's just one of countless guys buying salvaged junk from Korean kids, so they'll continue to enter dangerous areas whether he continues selling or not.
