From the article:
Quote:
PLAYBOY: When you were of draft age, how did you avoid the Army?

MARLON BRANDO: I beat the Army by being declared psychoneurotic. They thought I was crazy. When I filled in their forms, under “Race,” I wrote, “Human”; under “Color,” I wrote, “It varies.”

Damn! I wish I had thought of that when I went for my physical.
