7:45am and I'm in Jury Duty.......

[Kimberle]

I was called for Jury duty last friday (the 13th). When I called the night before, I couldn't believe my ears! I was cancelled! It still "counts" so I'm off the hook for the next 2 years.

I'm home from the confines of the court house.

I was not chosen to be a juror today.

The good news of the day.....I made the "gentleman" who was free with his opinion of gay folks rather uncomfortable for most of the day.

I stuck to him like glue and invaded his "personal space" by leaning in really close every time we talked.

It was kind of fun and just as we were leaving I told him I was gay and that I had had my eye on him since the start of the day.

I hope he twitched all the way home.

Omg I would have loved to see his face!

Thank you - you have certainly made my day!

Oh Kevin, you are so funny! this thread was awesome.

 

[Joshua_me]

Sorry I missed this thread in "real time".

I too was chosen for the living heck of jury duty in Sarasota last summer.

On my way in through the scanner, I was told I was NOT allowed to bring my laptop in with me because it had a Blu-ray burner in it and those were not allowed in the building as explosives could be hidden in them.

You can imagine my horror. It was confiscated from me at 7:30 AM, and I did not see it again until 5pm.

So, for NINE AND A HALF hours I had nothing to do but roam the courthouse, watch that fascinating film about how lucky I was to be able to participate in the judicial process and play "Bejeweled" and "Angry Birds" on my cell phone.

The case involved a man who was caught selling a large amount of cocaine to an undercover officer.

The prosecuting attorney, (who looked like she was right out of central casting) asked me if I thought drugs should be legalized.

I replied to her and the judge, "Well, not ALL drugs. But, I think pot should be. I mean, I don't know anyone who wants to smoke it who doesn't know where to get it. We ought to legalize it, tax the holy heck out of it and get some much needed money flowing in our state."

Well, with that they promptly handed me my hat and sent me on my way.

What a wasted day !

Don't forget, Kevin, you've got that $15 check to look forward to in the mail !

I suggest spending it on the bang bang shrimp at Bonefish !

I was told that jury duty is a form of serving your country.

I'm serving my country eating Bugles and playing Doodle Jump.

Will this qualify me for a discount Disney ticket?

Just imagine if there weren't any need for jurors. (No jury system). Not fun. When I served you sat there for two weeks needed or not....and no Ipad to play with. Wasn't invented yet. Today, one day if not selected.

My company was good. They paid you for time missed AND let you keep jury money. They even paid you if you where a polling judge.

Kevin- I hope you offered him a toaster.......

Thanks for the laugh Kevin! I'm glad you got through your day ok. Did you ever go for the PB cups???

I've decided to sit next to the man who thinks homosexuality is spiritually and morally wrong and watch "Funny Girl" on my iPad.

I may or may not sing along.

Did I ever tell you have much I love you Kevin?????

 

[hockeymomNS]

OMG Kevin, you can now get your butt up here and wipe the coffee off of my computer - thanks for the belly laugh.

 

[ninecrayons]

it's as good as any.

The actual comparison was that Liza Minelli moved around a cocktail party like a spider monkey.

She hugged and hung on and moved from person to person.

Honestly, I'm just furthering my cause of incorporating the phrase "Like Liza Minelli at a cocktail party" into every possible opportunity.

Yesterday I reported to my podcast listening friend that my seventh graders behaved like "Liza Minelli at a cocktail party." And they honestly did in several possible interpretations of the phrase.

That is fantastic. I've got the gigglies now from the sheet thought of that.

I can only imagine how much of a heart attack he would have had, had there been wiggly eyebrows or winking involved... possibly a come hither look?

This made me laugh out loud.

Maybe he will learn from this to keep his unwanted comments to himself.

Glad you have the iPad and wifi and not totally cutoff from civilisation

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

What a sucky day. If you were on Pinellas county I would ask what crazy Casey looked like. At least it is over.

DW told me about this thread...hilarious!

Do they have the caramel Bugles??? They are the BEST!

Never knew about these. Frankly, not sure if I should be thoroughly disgusted or highly intrigued...
