That reminds me of the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when Steve Martin faked paralysis to when the womans heart, he was surprised by his competition pretending to be a world renowned doctor. I can't do it justice, heres a youtube clip.

Whatever happened to when I was in the army, people would either say they were gay or that they found a new pacifist religion that keeps them from wanting to kill. If you would like I could go up there and paralyze him, that way he won't be lying anymore.
