111. Selective service
I have a 22 year old mentally handicapped son. The different branches of the military have been calling for ages in an effort to sign him up. At first I politely explained the situation and asked them not to call my house any more. They persist. The last time I talked to one (I usually don't -- the caller ID tips me off), I threw a frigging fit and told them to leave us alone. Ten minutes later later they called back and asked if I knew any OTHER young men who might like to earn money for college. I told them that it's difficult to spend tuition money if you've been killed in a war and I honestly couldn't recommend anyone for Bozo boy's illegal war. Any suggestions?
