Jury Duty
So I had jury duty yesterday in the fair-to-middlin city of Detroit. I wanted to park at the casino (free parking), but was running late due to traffic, so I hit the Joe Louis Garage. It cost me $10, but where else could I get this exchange:
YOUNG WHITE ATTENDANT: That'll be $10. Where are you heading?
OLD BLACK ATTENDANT (seeing my jury summons): He's got jury duty. Hey, what's your last name?
ME: Flaster.
OLD BLACK ATTENDANT: Oh, I could've sworn it was Epstein.
Anyways, after a video and a speech from a judge about the importance and sanctity of jury duty, I got to go home without serving on a trial.
