Like always the Simpsons are spot on about many things. In a episode called Simpson Tide Homer joins the Navy reserves ends up on a nuclear submarine to disastrous consequences mainly steering it into Russian Waters.

This is what happens when he talks to the recruiter.


Navy Recruiter: Just fill out this form, and you're on your way to the reserve.
Homer Simpson: There's a question that's crossed out.
Navy Recruiter: Well... due to a recent presidential order, we're not allowed to ask that particular question.
Homer Simpson: I think I can make it out.

Homer Simpson: "Are you a homosex..."
Navy Recruiter: For God's sake, don't answer that, I could go to jail!
Homer Simpson: But I'm not a homose...
Navy Recruiter: La, la, la, la, la, la, la, I am not lis-ten-ing! La, la, la, la, la...

Homer Simpson: Nice fella. I wonder if he's gay?
