Misrepresenting on medical applications

Remember, they only want your hair and eye color to aid in identifying
the body if the worst happens

So, we should just fill it in with "charred" instead?

A few years ago I filled out the application and put down "White" for
hair color for the first time. The secretary giggled as she was typing
up the form and said, "That's the first time I've seen a pilot actually
admit his true color."

Huh! I was instructed to put down Brown because I shouldn't attract
attention by changing it. (I was planning to write Bald.)

I certainly understand why pilots generally feel they don't volunteer
anything not explicitly asked for -- reasonable enough, given how things
works in the real world. Just make sure one doesn't misrepresent any
materially important fact, I guess.

At the very least, you should avoid giving your doctor your SSN...
