Show up to fulfill your obligations in a Grand Dragon costume. That should do the trick.

For the love of all that is right with our justice system, if you have any type of reasoning ability whatsoever, please honor your jury duty. The last voir dire I sat through was the most painful 2 hours of my life. So much tragedy and stupidity in one room.

Your ass had better find me on that Monday at lunch time if you don't get out of it.

Can't speak for the Judges up there. Down here, you have to either know someone or have a really legit excuse (Lie) to get out of it. Worst case scenario is every time you get questioned, say you know everyone involved...you hate lawyers....I was once screwed over by the system...ask if they're sure you can't bring your .38 in the Courtroom for protection.

You won't get picked and will go home before lunch.

I always get a kick out of the people who say they'd believe a law enforcement officer's testimony over a regular person. Works every time.

Try telling them you are breastfeeding. Worked twice for me.

You have and medical problems that a doctor can vouch for? I have had mine get me out of it before because of my back problems which makes it hard for me to sit for long periods of time. I didn't even have to go through the. Just took my doctor's letter to the clerk before the report date and she told me to even worry about showing up.

With respect, Jumbo, do your civic duty. Your county needs you.

Just do your duty, ya bums.

It's part of being an American.
You may get on an interesting case. There is also a large chance that you won't be called anyways.
Around here, they have a pool that is WAY larger than they actually need.
I wish they would call me now since I am home and unemployed. It would give me something to do besides working around the place.
The last two times I have been on the list, I was working in MN and couldn't make it.
I did it once about 20 years ago and sat on a murder case. We sent that fucker off to be fried but the sentence was commuted to Life.

I've served twice and got on a case each time. Jury duty is pretty cool IF you get on an a half decent case.

I got picked for jury duty starting in 2 weeks on a Sexual Herassment trial. Cant wait. What's bad is it is my off week from work, so I am doing this on my off time.

If you know a travel agent, and they will book a flight for you and send you the Itineray. You can use that. At least here in Texas.

Tell the judge you'll make a great juror cause you can spot guilty people at a glance.

Tell them you can always tell by their eyes, guilty people have beady eyes.

Carry in a baby rattle... The rattle helps you focus... They LOVE that.

Tell them you are against death by lethal injection, because it's too humane.
