Just yesterday I was feeling a little smug because I've been able to avoid jury duty for almost thirty years. Well, that must've roused the karmic arm of the mysterious universe because today in the mail came...you guessed it, a notice for jury duty. They don't want me! #5 on the questionaire (Do you have any mental disability that would interfer with or prevent you from serving as a juror? Include medical verification.) illustrates just exactly how much they should not want me. I don't have anything that's been diagnosed, but I must have something. Everybody has something wrong with them, it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world, afterall.
Damn my apparent sanity.
Anyone know what jury duty pays now? The last time I checked it was about 7 bucks a day and 10 cents a mile.
Hopefully there will be something hinky about my answers and they won't pick me. Maybe if I fill out the form in crayon...

HAHAHA! crayon is a good idea. or write with your non-writing hand. but still, of course they will want you.
My sister's advice was to throw the thing away, which would lead to a cop showing up and forcing me to go to the courthouse to fill out a questionnaire. Typically I avoid the cops. Not because I have anything to hide, oh no. I'm a model citizen, really. Honest :D
My friend got to the selection and when they asked if he believed in the death penalty he said, "Hell Yes, Fry the M!#$%$ F%$@#$%ers!".
...besides the fact that I'm sure they thought he was crazy cuz there's no such thing as death by electrocution anymore(that I know of), they said he wouldn't be an objective witness and asked him to leave right then...
SO--there's a backup plan for you if u actually have to go down there.
I've kind of always wanted to do jury duty tho--not the cases I probably would get-like theft and boring stuff, but I'd love to be on a jury for like a celebrity case or something...I'm the only person I know who is pro-jury tho...I dunno what my thing is...
OH! and I heard u get 40 bucks a day, but now I can't remember...hmm..
