How to get out of jury duty

[diceisgod]

I was sitting next to this huge & chubby stockbroker guy who gave me a discourse on the differences between bull and bear trading...he was all about bear trading. And though I still don't understand it he did tell me that he believes whole-heartedly that oil will be over $200 a barrel in about a year.

Also he actually wanted to be selected because he "loved the legal system". So I wasn't sure if this man was to be taken seriously or not but he sincerely seemed to think he knew what he was talking about, was somewhat interesting, and made my time go by faster.

In reality. I got out of it by telling the judge I just started a new job and had cc bills out the ass. Luckily she was cool and dismissed me as having a "hardship"...I went back to the herd of other people waiting to be assigned and we were all sent home shortly thereafter....around noon or so. It wasn't so bad but if I was selected I would have to come back in two days and be a part of some trial about some crazy gook girl who stabbed some people.
