Stuck in the Pool
“You are hereby notified to appear before the Honorable …..”
You got it – Jury duty today. I’m not sure how I got picked twice in six months, but here I am, doing my civic duty. They say information is power and for those of you who want to rule the jury pool I have three words for you – portable DVD player. Yes, this device will make you the envy of every schlep in the joint. They will be re-counting the number of leaves on the State Seal wanting to poke their eyes out while you’re watching the latest Netflix delivery (“The Island”). I made sure to sit on the back row, so folks could practice lip reading standing by the vending machines behind me.
It’s a funny thing watching a movie where the characters are clones, bred as cattle to be harvested for their organs, living every day wanting to win the “lottery” to be sent to the Island, as you are sitting in a room of people, waiting to hear their name called so they can leave the room…wait a minute.
Oh, they are about to release 57 jurors….darn. Maybe next time.
