Why snicker? I love jury duty.
Anyway. Short story. A friend of my mom's was called for jury duty a few months ago on a spur of the moment. This lady hadn't been to Great Falls (Montana) before, so I printed up some maps of where the District Courthouse was located and a map of hotels near the courthouse. She wanted to get there a day early so she could get herself roomed up at the hotel. The morning of the trial, the defendant settled out of court, and she ended up going to Great Falls for nothing. Suffice to say, she was a bit peeved, because she had family obligations (making lunch for the men at the ranch).
