i've always wondered if just saying you hate (insert a list of racial/ethnic/cultural epithets, here), casually, and with a straight face, would "excuse" one from jury duty. i just throw away my summons... es (actually, i shred or burn them. yes, seriously.). i've yet to get in trouble. i believe, "legally insane", would probably get me out of the annoyance, if i bothered to write back or show up, anyway. my-ex-who-lives-with-me (it really should be one word; often, i just call 'er, "the other") got a jury summons, the other day, and was actually excited to go! she wanted to see the court system at work, which, as a display of intellectual curiosity, is INSANELY ODD, for her. sadly (perhaps they noted her insanity, though she lacks my papers), she wasn't picked - i'd hoped she'd be sequestered, for months, in a murder trial. i've considered going just so that i'm fulfilling an actual, "duty" - that of keeping juries full of people too retarded to get out of jury duty. alas, my sense of duty is extremely easy to ignore. much more info than you could've wanted, i'm sure. is the icon, up top, from OHSHC, too? it seems very... animated.
