   Very likely...I remember when I was in 8th grade my teacher (who was maybe   
   11 or 12 when the Vietnam draft got into full swing) told us about   
   this guy he knew who avoided the draft by puncturing one eardrum with a   
   compass.

   Either that or he's just too boring for the draft board to notice. :)
