He brought the olives with him. He had just reported to the 4077 MASH that same day.

The story of the olive jar is from Hooker's original novel.

What else did he have under there? A bottle of Coke, a baseball glove, a recoilless rifle?

That reminded me of a guy I know who carries a little bottle of Tobasco sauce with him wherever he goes, just in case.
