Whee! 2nd post of the day! Need to get back to my readingS after this.

HOW TO AVOID MILITARY SERVICE

This is a translation of a letter sent by a young Croatian man to the
Croatian Minister of Defence to avoid military service. An extraordinary
piece of reasoning, worthy of attention of anyone interested in logic and
related matters.

Dear Minister of Defence,

Please allow me to explain my situation in a hope that you will be able
to resolve my case.

I am expecting to get the call to serve in the Croatian Army. I am 23 and
I married a 47 year old widow who has a 26 year old daughter. Her
daughter subsequently married my father. By marrying my wife's
daughter, my father became my son-in-law. In the same time, my wife is
a mother-in-law of my father, and her daughter is now also my stepmother.

In September my wife and I had a son. Clearly this child is a brother of
my father's wife, and thus a brother-in-law of my father. In the same
time, my son is also my uncle because he is a brother of my stepmother

In October my father's wife had a son as well. This child is now also my
brother because he is a son of my father. But I am the step-father of my
wife's daughter and also a brother of her son whose father is also my
father. Thus, my father's son is also my step-grand son because he is a
son of my wife's daughter. Consequently, I am a brother of my own
step-grandson, so I am also my own step-grandfather. However,
according to the law, not more then two consecutive generations of
fathers and sons (grand-father, father, son) can be called for military
duty simultaneously, so I should be relieved from the military duty.

Thank you for your understanding.

The reply of the Croatian Ministry of Defence was sent only two weeks
later, and it read:

The applicant is permanently relieved from the military duty due to
possible mental problems and mental instability caused by the chaotic
situation within his family.

I ish confused....
