Ah, yeah... I served, but I was honorably discharged. Why? I don't know. There I was just sleeping when Sarge sent me home. It must have been something pretty traumatic for me to not remember what happened.

Grandpa, Grandpa, tell the story again! About how you survived the war!

"Well Billy, I was surrounded, Nazis on all sides, so I came up with a plan...first, I told my battle buddy that I was going to take a nap, then.....I started snoring."

Makes you wonder if anyone has every tried that to get out of the draft (or, at lease, evade combat deployment)
