Mail Call 3 Mulcahy

I am back! I was wdm1219inpenna but forgot my password. Anyway, with Season 4's Mail Call 3, the scene in Potter's office where they are watching Radar's home movies, Potter does a very casual "role call" as far as who is in his office to watch and he omits Father Mulcahy's name. He sees him there and apologizes and Mulcahy says "I'm often mistaken for being absent." Why did he say that line? Was that an inside joke since Bill Christopher's name had not yet appeared at the start of the show?
