Goddammit, I've been summoned for jury duty for the first time in my life. Given that it's the middle of the school year, I'm hoping to get out of it. Otherwise I'm going to have to come off as a lunatic to be dismissed. Flex, what are some of the things you say about the Exploited?
You could always tell them what my dad used to jokingly tell me - "If they were innocent, they wouldn't be sitting there in the first place". :mrgreen:

Hello,

Tell the court you're a teacher and an appropriate substitute cannot be found/obtained. Does your honor wish to negatively impact the education of our youth? It worked for me anyway - except I didn't really ask that question.

"Oh, what do I think about adjudicating these matters in court? Well, let me put it this way: The Exploited really came into their own once they started incorporating crossover thrash into their signature sound on studio albums."

I just want out of jury duty, not committed to a psychiatric hospital. :naughty:

Hmmm, well, I guess I'll save my material on the relative merits of their live albums for someone who really wants to get put on the jury blacklist.

Iwas chosen for jury duty once at like the orst possible time. Ultimately I was not picked for any cases. Truth be told a week before or later and Id have gladly done it.

I've had jury duty three times and have never been chosen. One time, I knew someone else in the jury pool, the second time, I said the plaintiff looked a lot like our next door neighbor who was suing us frivolously at the time and the third time, they just didn't pick me. My advice, just be your regular sunny self!

:shifty:

I got a note from my mom (well, a letter from my dean) attesting that I'm teaching this term and no replacement is possible. I've submitted my request and would expect that'll be accepted given that I'm only seeking a deferral. I'm happy to convict a cop or a trucker or set free a shoplifter.

And I got my deferral. I will not be dispensing hot, cold, or lukewarm justice.
