ROFLMAO... I've never been called, but I've heard self-employment and taking the chance of losing all your clients due to being in court instead of your office doesn't mean a thing to them...so I'm digging out that old pair of glasses and my wierdest clothes anf an old pair of slippers that don't match so I'm ready : ) Great post Joanie!

Joan, Thanks for the post I'm LMFAOROTF. No kidding last time I got called I had a blast. First thing I noticed was half the room was full of sheep. They looked like they were going to talk to God or something. Most of them were still there when I was leaving. As soon as they moved us to the waiting room so we could hang out and have coffee I went off on a rant. There was a very big murder case coming up and we all seemed to know some of us were going to be tied up for six months or more. Not me, not after that rant. I'm sure big brother DA has a snitch in those rooms so I went off on a rant about how since all these people moved to Colorado you hear about murders so maybe they should all move out and how in the old days "ya just got a rope" and there was no jury duty. Then I started asking people if they thought our case was the murder case and how I'd read the paper and the trial would be a waste of time cause the guy did it, they caught him in the act so why not skip a trial and go to punishment. I stated I had a drag rope in the back of my Blazer and that the court house had a large flag pole. Well, next thing I know they say they picked too many people to make sure they had enough for the case. The judge thanked us and they read a list of us that could go. Most the people on the list were people who thought I should run for office and said so in the jury waiting room. Next post I may tell you about how to fly millions of miles and not have people talk to you on a plane. This one too is a classic and a favorite role play of mine. Thanks for making me laugh Joan. 909S2U BLUE
