Dear Teacher and Teacher's Pet/Class Tattletale:

Wednesday (1/15), I must appear at the courthouse for jury duty. As I will be armed with the latest copies of National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the NRA magazine - all of which I will be reading conspicuously - it is probable that I will be discharged (or escorted out) by noon. Jury duty pays roughly $4 less than the parking will cost, and the lost time here at the home office will cost me at least $2 - maybe $3.

Anyway, don't even think about marking me absent or tardy.
You have been warned.

Lettuce try again, since the server is dying.

Wear a tie and "dressy" clothes. Defense lawyers in particular HATE a male wearing even a shirt and tie, much less a coat and tie.

DON'T wear blue jeans and casual clothes, even if a female, because you are IMMEDIATELY targetted as an "easy mark" and soft sell....though (perhaps) the prosecuter will will void you out.

My last jury summons: the prosecutors tuned EVERY minority in the pool until they ran out of "eliminates"; and the defense turned down EVERY while male until HTEY ran out of "eliminates."

Casually dressed white females (and minority/union males) were accepted every time, no rejects at all.
