while studying for the Life & Health insurance licensure exam, I came across this gem of a sentence that purports to explain eligibility for social security disability benefits:

"a person is fully insured if: (1) he has at least six quarters of coverage, and (2) he has acquired at least as many quarters of coverage as there are years elapsing after 1950 (or, if later, after the year in which he reaches age 21) and before the year in which he dies, becomes disabled, or reaches, or will reach age 62, whichever comes first"

1) please interpret this how you see fit, and

2) post your own examples of dense bureaucratic nonsense for us to marvel at and attempt to deconstruct.
