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,

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.

I provide answers to the attorney's questions that are as short as
humanly possible. I keep a straight face, my arms crossed as much as
possible and show no emotion, and never get past the first cut.

it is scary to see who the attorney's want on the jury.

They don't seem to fond of military types either, especially with two
brothers who were cops.

Who? Donnie? Sounds like everyone showed up and got booted. Would you
recommend lying so as to get selected?

What games, Harry? You're obviously suggesting we made an attempt to avoid
duty. How?

Your innuendoes are inept, at best. Go back to bed.

Uh, dummy, the lawyers involved are the ones who either put someone in
the jury pool, or not. The individual just answers questions.
Hopefully honestly.
