Just remember that acting insane can be habit forming...

K.P. its as simple as telling the truth so unconvincingly no one believes you.

tell them with complete and utter conviction that you are totally rational
and sane, and just keep hitting on it.

conversely you could just tell her she is right and has been all along.

It will stay in your record, and might eventually prevent you from getting a security clearance, if that's something you might be interested in one day.

Why exactly do you want to fake the crazy, tho?

Don't think that it will acutally help.

Yossarian: Is Orr crazy?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all his close calls he's had.
Yossarian: Why can't you ground him?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: I can, but first he has to ask me.
Yossarian: That's all he's gotta do to be grounded?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: That's all.
Yossarian: Then you can ground him?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: No. Then I cannot ground him.
Yossarian: Aah!
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: There's a CATCH?
Yossarian: A catch?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Sure. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him.
Yossarian: Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: You got it, that's Catch-22.
Yossarian: Whoo... That's some catch, that Catch-22.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: It's the best there is.

Classic stuff, and a great book although not really for all gung-ho's.

Kapitan,

I'd be interested to hear more about your predicament, if you don't mind sharing. If you really are trying to avoid service over there then there are ways.
