    I just got jury duty. I'm on a jury for the next 2 to 4 MONTHS! This sucks! No summer vacation for me.

    Here's my schedule: go to work at 7:30, jury duty at 9:00. Back to work over lunch and back to jury for the afternoon. I don't technically have to go to work (I get paid anyway), but I want to keep a little caught up and not over-burden my co-workers.

    Not my idea of how to spend the summer.

    As my stepdad says: "Jury duty is for people who aren't smart enough to get away from jury duty".

    It's damn hard to get away from jury duty. I have been on three of them I hate it. they ask you questions before they pick you. I always try to be a dick. They ask you what you think of the police. I tell them I hate the pigs and don't trust them. I tell them I do drugs and eat puppies. They still pick me. It's hopeless.

    Peace

    Tell them that you're crazy, depressed, or something. Invent an excuse for why you can't participate.

    Pull your penis out and start wanking it if everything else fails.

    I'm sure that anyone can get away from jury duty.

    I guess you weren't convincing enough.

    Or maybe they were just looking for someone who's completely insane.

    Why do you wanna get out of it? It seems exciting as hell to me. Estonia has a different justice system so we don't have that kinda shit here.

    I mean, come on. It's not the fucking army.

    For some reason every time I think of Estonia, I’m reminded of SS-Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller's chilling remark at the Wannsee Conference ‘Estonia, Jew Free’ :eek:

    It's a pathetic excuse for a country. Don't believe anything positive you hear about it.

    Well, except when someone tells you the women are beautiful. Because the women are beautiful.
