Mike - No jury duty here. But if you run into someone who's looking for a woman who was playing banjo in a pizza shop and she told him about ecigs and wrote stuff down for him, that was me!
The OP reminds me of a Mickey Spillane novel:
"I was on duty. Jury duty. Sitting in the second row of a non-smoking gallery listening to a second-rate defendant talk about his involvement with a first-class stiff. The judge was bored. He lifted his gavel and declared a recess.
"Then, I saw her. Juror Number Six. Tall, slim, legs up-to-there in her WalMart Faded Glorys and her feet in pink Payless pumps. Her cotton candy lips were puckered around a slim, black tube, vapor sliding and up through her pixie-cut blonde hair. Smoking? No. I could smell nothing but her Suave shampoo and her liberal application of Jean Nate' body splash ..."
Yeah. Spillane would have liked vaping.

Damn that was so good. You have a talent. I think mine was influenced by Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style"
LOL! Right now, I'm reading "Anna Karenina" by Tolstoy. I'm sure in his time, such a novel was considered a "romance". In my time, it's a study of how teenage angst doesn't stop at 19, and of how no-fault divorces have enriched high-society. The politics is simply fluff. Ahem.
Bought mine from V4L as well. Can't wait to start handing out their business cards. Totally loving them so far.
Mike! hehe, it's me ... lucky juror #9 (jennifer)!
This thread is hysterical.
I couldn't find you after the deliberations ... where did you go? I'm glad you were able to find this forum. Indeed, amazing people here! (long time lurker as you can tell by my low post count).
Send me a PM & I'll shoot you my email.

What a neat change of pace...quite the little soap opera. I'm so glad you showed up here, Vasha to solve the mystery!!!
Thanks! It's a good thing he posted on the V4L sub-forum otherwise I wouldn't have caught this message. (Good thinking Mike!). Too bad I couldn't respond to it to the thread because of my low post count. How many posts do I need to post there?

It looks like he's still on the V4L subforum. Can someone kindly tell him I'm here?
I PMed him for you.
Nice happy ending.
