Person Two: "Yea, I know what you mean. I have work too. See, I was caught in a meat cleaver this weekend and my body was ravaged beyond human recognition, leaving me limbless and very sad. The department has decided not to give me any extensions so I have to write my thesis, which is due in 10 minutes and I haven't started, in blood...
...British comedy group Monty Python has a sense of humor that shines on record and goes over well on television; unfortunately, a feature-length film can accommodate only so many ludicrous even offensive gags before the well runs dry.

The phrase "They're cowards-they're afraid to go" cannot be utilized here. They have gone. Who could turn his back on a blinded or limbless soldier whose purpose is not evasion of the draft but instruction on the horrifying results of the draft...
