When I was leaving the Peace Corps while taking the last medical exam I completed the medical form. The Doctor looked it over, and then said, oops I gave you the wrong form. I completed the 2nd form. The only difference was the addition of a question regarding 'homosexual tendancies'. I lied on that answer. I was 25 years old at the time. Am I disappointed that Sam 'lied'? Yes. As much as I am disappointed with myself in having felt like I had to lie.
