How Larry David Lied His Way Out Of The Army Reserve | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Bertrand Russell told a story of a philosophy student who wrote an extremely long essay explaining why he felt it was unjust to send him to fight in the 1st World War. He researched it for weeks, put a huge amount of effort into his arguments and eventually sent it off. At which point someone said "You know, all you had to put down was 'Quaker' under religion to get out"

[@hannahhelton3789]

The funny Curb plot line would be if Larry had to be called back to the reserves because they found out he lied.

I dont understand why he joined the reserve. I too graduated in 1970. The first draft lottery was in late 1969 and based on Larrys birthday his number was in the high 300’s. Mine was 204 and for 1970 198 was the highest number used for that years draft.

[@nl5828]

if larry had to go to the vietnam war, i imagine his first words upon arriving would have been “this is pre-tty pre-tty bad!”

He got a letter saying that he was crazy, so the doctor was just doing his job after a normal evaluation with Larry David. And of course, deemed him insane.
