I saw that. How'd it go?

I got called a couple of years ago, fortunately only for the local district court. And they provided WiFi.

Didn't get seated. Lawyers don't like engineer jurors.

They also have WiFi. I waited in the pool room all day and stopped and did one job on the way home.

I had a manager who was in the court when a lawyer was questioning a engineer. It was a drunk driving case and the lawyer was asking do you believe that we can design a machine that won't make a mistake? No mater what the lawyer said the engineer would come back with redundancy, parallel systems and won't not say we could not design a device that would not make mistakes. After about ten minuets the lawyer gave up and asked the next guy in the jury box which was my manager. What is your name and what do you do for a living? He said I fix the machine that he designed nodding toward the engineer. He was put on the jury.
