Isaak was supposed to go to the draft board and is very worried that he will be drafted into the army.

So he asked Aaron, who had already been to the draft board and was exempted from military service, what he did to get out of it.

Aaron replayed:

- You know I'm very religious. So the day before the draft board I went to the synagogue. I prayed and gave a large donation to the synagogue. My father told me that at the draft board I should pretend that I was lame in my left leg and that I should blink with my left eye.

And just imagine, when they told me to undress and I just blinked with my left eye once, the doctor immediately wrote "unfit for military service"!

Isaak did everything Aron told him, but on his papers was written "fit for military service".

So Isaak went to Aaron and complained:

- Your advice was totally useless! I did everything you said and it didn't help at all!

To which Aron replied:

- It's Impossible! Have you been to the synagogue?

- Yes, I was there from the evening to the dawn!

- Did you pray?

- Yes, I prayed a lot!

- Did you give a donation?

- Yes, I gave a huge donation!

- Did you pretend to be lame in your left leg?

- Yes, I did!

- Did you blink with your left eye when you were naked?

- Yes, plenty of times!

- Strange. What could go wrong?

Oh yes! Do you have a hernia?
