    What if they also have a paper allergy and no hands?
    You will be supplied with parchment and required to complete it with a foot.

      Parchment is still a paper product.

      They should be given vellum, a quill plucked from an endangered bird and ink derived from animal entrails.

        Then it will trigger their paper allergy, which seems like reasonable punishment for having no hands.

            If you did it in the last couple of censuses and your religious observance hasn't changed then obviously you are still a Jedi.

                  There's an argument that choosing silly options causes problems. E.g. when MPs are looking at funding for faith-based schools, they refer to the census to see what proportion of population are religious. So, if you're not religious at all, it's better to say that. (Of course, if you genuinely do live your life according to the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then by all means write that on your form.)
