Muaa ha ha.... When I called the local census office to find out if the long form was some sort of joke (here, let me tell you how much money I make, where I live, and when I'm not home), they indirectly threatened me-- if I didn't give them the information, they weren't saying the police would come to my door, but.... They also kept sending some poor dude out to leave "turn in your census" notices at all the vacant apartments in our building. They were checking our area so thoroughly, jokes wouldn't have had a chance. (I put something like "decline to state" for everything.)
