A friend of mine was applying for his "Green Card" recently, so he
could be exploited by Corporate America. He had to fill out a form
called the "Application for Permanent Residence" (from the U.S.
Department of Justice INS, form number OMB # 1115-0053). The form is
apparently used to weed out "undesirables". It is only a three page
form, which contains the following (somewhat amusing) questions:
