If yoiu get called on a panel of prospective jurors and are eliminated/dismissed for any reason.. back to the juror pool with ya!
So.. you are gunna spend a minimum of one day furiously waiting... waiting for anything to happen... waiting.. tic..... toc...........tic...............toc............... .....tic.......... PLEASE SOMEONE FAKE AN EPILEPTIC SEAZURE... ANYTHING!!!!

Just pray that there are some local restaurants to eat at otherwise come lunch time you will be introduced to the "$6 Court House Hot Dog and the $2.50 Coke"

The only redeeming quality of jury duty is.. next time you go to the dentist for root canal, you will be able to think back on your jury experience and realize that "it could be worse!!"

That was my last last jury experience! I went straight from work (12 hours night shift ) to jury duty. ...Then fell asleep at a table. They were going to put the trial off till after 2pm . Then the judge changed his mind and they started at 10:30 am. When they were "trimming" the jury pool down, one guy went on a diatribe on how he thought drugs should be legal . He went straight to the door . So I got an idea:hmm: . By the time they got to me, they had their pool, so they sent everybody home. Maybe I'll need a translator Serbian would be good, maybe Bulgarian...Good thing I know my slavic languages. Do they let you bring laptops? And I will be doing my civic duty that day, I'll be voting.
