Doing the Duty

I was weeding my way through the three weeks of accumulated mail from my recent/current bout with Bronchitis when I spied something white, blue, and pink in the mix. I was prepared to laugh at Jack for getting the dreaded letter from our government because he hs been the one to do the duty most often, however I noticed a very familiar name under the "Legal Document: Jury Summons." My thought is always "Cool!" when I get the summons; of course I have never actually been selected. I'm sure the one time I'm selected will be some horrendous crime with lots of pictures. I'm hoping for a little embezzlement or drug posession crime. I would enjoy the process, I think, unless it had to do with some yucky, sick, souless bastard. Hey, maybe my post will automatically exclude me from the pool because of obvious bias. Oh well. Maybe next time.

By the way, the title of this post should not be confused with the previous post.

Hahaha! I was concerned about the title.

I can't believe I've never been summoned for jury duty. Airan got a summons recently, but he didn't end up having to go in. I'm sure he'll be getting a new summons soon.

The one time I served, it was a nasty rape trial.
We put the bastard back in prison for a long time, and I feel good about that, but it's an awesome responsibility. It was NOT fun.
