DAG GUM IT!!  I did not have a lame excuse but I did think up a few.  I did my best to explain to my children how jury duty works and our legal system.  I did not add that I REALLY wanted to come up with an excuse to not go.  I told her how important it was that the decisions made by a jury of our peers.  I told her if Mommy was in court she would want someone like me (hopefully) trying to come to the right decision in their case.  What I really was thinking was that I had run out of good excuses and that I had to face the music and do my civic duty.  I have to go back on Wednesday for a case.  Tomorrow we vote on a local sales tax increase or not, I think I will take her with me to show her that local government process.  I clearly remember taking her to vote with me when I voted for President.  After a long discussion in line waiting she looked at me and said "It's kinda like your voting for Line Leader"!?  Ya you got it!

As we were waiting for the jury pool, the lady asks the entire room about their hardships..... I could not believe the lame excuses these people told the whole room.  I literally had to cover my mouth when a lady stood up and said, " I have panic attacks and I have a lump in my breast".  Ok not that a lump is funny but COME ON PEOPLE!!   I would of taken her lump more serious if she had not thrown in the panic disorder (they let her go)  I should of said I have ADD and my mind is always wandering.....
Maybe I am just jealous I could not think of anything good.......
