"Gallows humor" - my favorite.
I don't think there is any good insurance any more - just varying degrees of bad....
The best had to be the "physical" I got entering the Marines during Vietnam - I sat in a chair, and answered questions - height, weight, all the rest - pulse, etc., was totally made up - the doc just sat behind the desk and filled out a form with no contact with me whatsoever.
2 guys in boot camp were actually 4F and got out when they'd had enough - one had had polio, and one shoulder was smaller than the other, and the second had lost 4 toes to a lawn mower - both were released - the rest of us considered them "lucky".
