Athletic Draft Dodger -- Light Housekeeping = Lighthouse Keeping -- Chainsaws Attract Rattlesnakes

Eric Utne, Far Out Man: Tales of Life in the Counterculture (New York: Random House, 2020), 33. “Many of my friends messed themselves up to avoid the draft. One showed up for his draft physical high on LSD, stripped himself naked, and did backflips all around the draft center. That was the [Minneapolis] mayor’s son – he was the Minnesota state gymnastics champion – and it worked. He was hauled off to a psychiatric ward (that was the downside), but he didn’t have to go to Vietnam.”
