Synopsis by Hal Erickson
500,000 tongue depressors are mistakenly delivered to the 4077th. Outraged at this spectacular blunder--especially since several more necessary supplies are still missing--Hawkeye (Alan Alda) decides to use the wooden stick to erect a "monument to stupidity." This proves to be a hot scoop for Klinger (Jamie Farr), who has just launched his own camp newspaper.
