Wear a shirt that says "All _________ must hang" where the blank is the ethnicity of the person on trial. Bam, no more jury duty.

I'd have to agree.

I'd like to point out that this strategy works even BETTER if the person on trial is the same ethnicity you are. Then not only are you racist, you're clearly mentally unstable, and therefore not fit to serve jury duty. :)

Whatever happened to doing your civic duty? I wouldn't mind jury duty.

Boy_who_lost_his_wings · May 2004

If that fails talk like a red neck and act like a dumass.

while you're right, it's good to do your civic duty, i still don't want to do it. i don't like large cities. Minneapolis about the lowest item on my list of places i like to be. If it were in a smaller city i wouldn't really have a problem with it, but i really hate going into large cities.

Seconded.

That I can understand. Traffic here in Houston alone is reason enough to dislike the place. (Especially with the I-10 construction)

Seph_Kimara · May 2004

I got called for jury duty myself, but I was given excusal :O

(Based on location of myself, the crown court, available transportation methods to me, and some other stuff I just won't go into...but the distance between the court and me is grounds enough for someone who would have no choice but to walk)

Or if you have cojones, you could just do it the easy way and say it straight that you don't want to do it and if they force you, you'll do the worst job you can.

Also use a lot of curse words, preferably fart, burb, smoke on non-smokin area and be drunk.

That'll do it.

Then do this:

Walk in with a Bible.

Make sure everyone knows you have the Bible.

Start reading from the Bible. Out loud.

Lean over to people and tell them about passages that you think could "apply to them."

Non-chalantly say, "Science is mostly the work of Satan because [Insert Bull-Feces Here]."

I see Mantrid was also born and raised in Oklahoma. Hello there neighbor.

Zuh?

Delarosa · May 2004

do you get paid, or like, re-embursed for time taken from work or anything?

Boy_who_lost_his_wings · May 2004

I hope to god you do.

Dorian_Gray · May 2004

Talk loudly continuously about how people in the courtroom are dressed, how the judge looks like a moron, how crappy the ______'s arguments are (which ever one is crappiest) and how you wish you hadn't eaten the entire box of bran flakes and accidentally taken the laxatives. Pretend you're thinking all this, and then comment about how people seem to be able to hear you think.

Or use any of the other reasons from this big long list of 100 ways to fail an exam. Most would get you kicked out of any respectable public place.

Jump off the roof of your house onto the concrete below and break your left leg.
Do not go to jury duty.
Do not collect 200 Dollars. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
