For sarcasm.
"Blue Text"?
And the whole "Do entary" leads me to think that missing jury duty might not be such a bad idea for the thread originator.
For sarcasm.
It's SFIE...it's sarcasm-related as a response to the blowback.
Duly noted. Time to send my sarcasm filter back to be calibrated.
Know any good shops?
Just show up with a child. I saw a lady get dismissed when she brought (I presume her) child with her and told them she was the sole caretaker of the child. I on the other hand ended up sticking around for an ugly 2 week trial.
Why? I also have served on a capital murder jury and I will do everything in my power to not ever serve again. the whole process was disheartening and frustrating.... They dont even come close to justly compensating you. And jury members are generally looked down upon as dumb or impressionable.
You could tell them that your work life interferes with your ability to come to work. If your job doesn't compensate you for time off for example or if your an accountant and you can't miss month end closing (this is the excuse my sister the accountant always gives), or if you're going to school you can just send them your roster I believe and you'll be excused.
I don't think you can use work as an excuse.
Bring your blow-up doll to court with you.
Simple: "I have a friend who said he knows you, but I think he lost his case." It doesn't matter who you know, if you know anyone related to the case...you are out.
the fact that I'm the primary care giver to 2 toddlers and that I'm breastfeeding usually gets me off.
Not sure how that'll work for you.
He might make the papers if he tried that.
You realize what a GIGANTIC straight line this is?
Statutory Exemptions
(Ch. 480, Sec 62.106 Government Code)
A person qualified to server as a pe juror may establish an exemption from jury service if that person:
* is over 70 years of age ;
* has legal custody of a child or children younger than 10 years of age and serving on the jury requires leaving the child or children without adequate supervision ;
* is a student of a public or private secondary school (must provide proof) ;
* is a person enrolled and in actual attendance at an ins ution of higher education (must provide proof) ;
* is an officer or an employee of the senate, the house of representatives, or any department in the legislative branch of the state government (statement must be notarized); or
* is the primary caretaker of a person who is an invalid, unable to care for himself (not employed outside of the home).
That being the case, did you REALLY need to spend $200+ on that bouncy marital aid thingy?

In honor of ORION coming into the thread, a new idea for getting out of jury duty:
Whip out your and start jerking off.
When they see my occupation is "engineer," I am quickly dismissed.
i figured he was fishing and didn't mention it!
left or right handed? come on he needs to be taken serious so I'd go with the right hand.
I get the same response when they see my occupation is "attorney."
When I was in law school, however, my Torts professor was selected to sit on a jury in a personal injury case because the plaintiff's lawyer and the defense lawyer (both former students of that professor) each thought the other would strike him. Neither did and he ended up being the foreman that all lawyers would dread.
Why? They scared of someone smarter than them or are they just scared that you have no social skills?
yes.
and I'm pleasently surprised at how well you've restrained yourself.
oh if anything I really need the stress relief
/don't be jealous.
