Subj: Re: [kl] Jury Duty
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2004 00:36:43 -0500

To tell you the truth, once I get past the pissing and moaning about jury
duty I rather like it.
Scenario: Armed robbery. Questions to jury candidates: about the right to
own guns. Some guy grandstands about his right to own guns. He is
dismissed. I've been counting how many dismissals each side has had. Both
come up to their limit. I'm asked the same question. My answer: Your
honor, I feel so strongly about the proliferation of guns in this country
that I'd support a constitutional amendment to limit gun ownership to those
who are members of a well regulated militia.

They can't dismiss me. Talk about a poisoned jury. We nailed the guy.

O.K. I promise I won't go off-topic for the foreseeable future. 8-)

Oliver
