Jury duty is like a wet/dry vac...

I feel for you. Before they had the phone in system, I was stuck in a jury room for two weeks straight. Not once, but twice. The thing that sucked the most was getting assigned to a case on Friday of my last day.

The trial lasted two weeks. That's right, four weeks of service. Blech.

Here's one way to get out of it. But I think this only works in Montana.

That's one of the perks in being a lawyer - they NEVER want me!

Reminds me of the old line:
Would YOU want your legal fate in the hands of 12 people
who are too dumb to get off jury duty?

And the old Mark Twain chestnut:

We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.
