This is why I like Canada, if you dont vote you never get called to serve on jury duty. Last I heard was you get $20 a day for serving but cannot collect any pay you missed from work. And the best part is you never feel guilty for not voting cause you know no matter who you vote for they are bending you over and not using any lube.

They pushed hard and I finally said I could agree to sentence of probation only after they skinned the SOB alive and rolled him in salt. I guess they didn't like me after all.

Getting excused from serving on a jury in a criminal proceeding really isn't that difficult. All you have to do is present yourself in a way that leads the court to believe that you could not render a fair and impartial verdict.

Like George Carlin said, “…tell ‘em you can’t wait to be a juror, because you think you’d be really good at it, because you can spot a guilty person (snaps fingers) just like that!” <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I got picked as an alternate once -- it sucked!! I had to be in the jury box (and pay attention during the couple days of the trial), but I wasn't allowed to ask any questions or participate in deliberations -- I was supposed to just sit there quietly and observe.

I have gone to Jury Duty on a handful of occasions. Lawyers don't like me I guess, I never get picked which may not be a bad thing.

If I have to go to one of the Q&A sessions my goal will be to make them not like me. I have better things to do.


I just went through this a couple of months ago. It really has nothing to do with liking you or not. It is all about how you answer the questions. I was not picked because I could not agree to a potential sentence of probation if the individual was found guilty...oh yea the crime was 8 felony counts of sexual abuse to a child. They pushed hard and I finally said I could agree to sentence of probation only after they skinned the SOB alive and rolled him in salt. I guess they didn't like me after all.

If you are picked, consider it a privilege to play an active roll in our great democracy.

I am disappointed at your leniency Dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Everyone knows that rolling in salt results in less than optimum coverage. A more practical solution involves a tub and several drums of vinegar.


I guess I am becoming soft...I like your idea
