What am I backing up? I don't have the bird, and no key to open Tib's door either.

You've got to help me keep up with the peeps who want to sign up and have a Vet Party while jj's gone...as you have just learned, I don't keep up very well with stuff...



BONZAI Odell!!

Bonzai, Odell. That doesn't help, could be for hello or goodbye!

That's the confusing part, haven't figured out the clarifying part yet....

Will do, until they drag my .... in for jury duty. I'm on-call the whole month, have to call in every night.

not fun JaG....do you have a plan for if they call you in? even more importantly does the courthouse have wireless? sitting around giggling at your computer might have some effect or other...

Well, that stinks; a whole month?

JaG, it's easy, take a short piece of rope and sit, practice tying a hangmans noose....you'll never get called again....

No electronic devices AT ALL, which means no PV. Not that I can vape in there.

I was a one-man business the last time they called on me. I couldn't stand the judge and gave him a hard time, almost got thrown in jail for contempt. But I'm older and wiser now, I think.

I knew a guy that went in for JD and he told them he knew the guy was guilty cause the cops arrested the guy and he always agrees with the cops...they let him go home

I was on a jury a number of years ago, we decided to convict so quick, we thought it would look bad to the judge. So we sat in the jury room a while just talking, took a vote and "convicted" OJ at the same time....

Yup, due to our small town not having many people or cases. It's the entire month. I don't like being on call.

Good idea. How do you think I nearly got thrown in jail last time?

Well behave yourself jag, we don't want to have to take up donations to bail you out!!

 

[Stosh]

what's scary sitting on a jury is you look to the left, then to the right, and realize if you ever get in trouble these are the people that will decide your fate.....

 

[JustaGuy]

The last time I was there I said I didn't believe in the whole criminal system - I was a bit unbalanced at the time since when I was gone, my "business" was shut down. The judge was very upset, literally told me to go to back of the room.

There is something wrong with it coz here we were sitting there being asked by the attorneys where we worked and other personal information when we knew nothing about the guy accused of weapons charges!!

I never actually try to get out of jury duty...but somehow they never take me. course being honest about distrust for lawyers seems to make me a bad candidate. go figure.

 

[jj2]

Just wear a shirt that says, "You bet your ..., I'm prejudice against criminals."

 

[JustaGuy]

well behave yourself jag, we don't want to have to take up donations to bail you out!!

send juice!

 

[Stosh]

I've been on two juries, one convicted, one hung jury......
you haven't lived until you sit in a hung jury....
