1. It must be admitted that Teal'c's fashion choices tended rather to the lurid. Jack was very careful to stand where he could see Carter's face the first time she saw one of his Hawaiian shirts. It was a priceless study in horror mingled with amusement, and so worth the seeing.
It didn't take much for the human members of the team to start a sub rosa competition for who could find Teal'c the most over-the-top Hawaiian Shirt ever. Thanks to a subscription to Field and Stream, Jack won hands down with this Troutwear Hawaiian Shirt (http://www.troutwear.com/collection/men/9245390). It was pricey at $90, but so worth it for the win.
2. Jack had grown up in the world of team sports, football in fall, hockey in winter, and baseball in the spring and summer, and it was a world that taught a mild degree of superstition. When his team caught on to the fact that Jack had a lucky hat, it became their joy and delight to try to spirit it away and hide it during their watches. On their last mission together before Jack was made a General, they once again tried to find and hide the hat, without success, because it was at the foot of his sleeping bag, and Jack was a light sleeper. Daniel's chocolate, Carter's thumb drive, and Teal'c peanut butter cookies were missing though, and turned up in Jack's pack.
3. It wasn't pig Latin, but a similar type of arrangement of Daniel's devising, and after Daniel taught them how it went, SG-1 got very good and very fast at speaking in it. They made a point of using it often on missions when the Marines of SG-3 were along. It drove Col. Makepeace and his men nuts. Jack was so proud.
4. Hammond didn't know why SG-1 was having such a puerile reaction to the word hair when SG-1 debriefed following the mission where they had been led to another of those quantum mirror things. The words hair, locks, red, and abundant all lead to poorly suppressed snickering. Nobody wanted to tell the General about the alternate universe where his counterpart's hair had been luxuriant, artificially red, and very, very curly.
5. Teal'c was mystified by knock-knock jokes. Initially some of it was that he was not quite conversant with the ins and outs of colloquial English, and some of it was the vast gulf between Tau'ri and Jaffa humor. Nonetheless, they intrigued him, and he began to seek them out in an attempt to understand them. The rest of the team helped out. If the the apocalypse ever came, and only a few Tau'ri were able to escape through the stargate and survive, the presence of SG-1 would have guaranteed that the knock-knock joke would have been well represented in the galaxy still.
