I think a lot of people get excited when they hear they're going to be on the jury of a criminal case. It's all CSI and Law and Order's fault. People think it's going to be cool and sexy. They must never have watched a trial on Court TV. It's more like Bueller....Bueller...Bueller...for hours on end.

Stuck with jury duty. You're right...it does blow. I'm not sure it sucks enough to get me into a kilt, though. Maybe if you'd worn your 'McMarijuana' t-shirt you'd be somewhere other than in a jury box today. Lesson learned. So, is that nutsack supposed to be a sublte joke implying a 'hung' jury??
