Help me get out of jury-duty!

nikimcbee · 11-06-06, 03:12 AM

I got roped into jury-duty on Nov 7th

Since this is the left-coast, here's plan plan of attack: Wear my USS Texas Battleship shirt, my USS Cavalla hat, and bring either a book in Russian to read, or a book about WW2 German. IE my book on Tiger Tanks, U-boats, or something totally German

. All the pacifist lefty types will freak out and send me home:hmm: .

Any ideas?

I would, but then they would arrest me for not having PC thoughts

Go to the docs give him a nikker and ask him to write a sick note for you.

Just say you are prejudiced against the police. As an anarchist, you are morally offended by the existence of a repressive institution that strips rights from citizens, and could not possibly take the word of people whose career is ratting on their fellow man.

Of course, you'll leave the court house with an FBI file to your name, but who cares?

I think you should do your duty. If you are able you should do it.

Unless youhave a valid reason.

Do your duty. You'll like it anyway and remember it for a long time to come.

Trust me - yours is not as bad as mine - someone hated me when I had to do it way back when. They picked me on my 21st birthday so I couldn't even go out and drink / party etc. on my 21st birthday!!! I did get selected for 2 jury's though and I found it interesting.
