For the 2nd time in a couple of years, I received a notice to report for

In my entire working life, I didn't hear a peep from them...and now that my

That's the way it's done down here too - they pick retired types
because it doesn't cost them any money.

A nice warm spot to spend the winter, meeting new friends while being wined,
dined & paid also intrigued me.


You get paid for jury duty?

Kewl.

Maybe they'll come calling again in a couple of years.


Every time I'm called, I show up, tell them I'm disqualified because I
have a son who is in law enforcement and I drive back home.

You would think they would keep track of that wouldn't you?

It's a PIA.
