Excellent idea, although I should think that a flask would be more discreet.

I gotta say, it's nice to have a 1 day/1 trial system.

Never been called to jury duty before, I figured I'd find a way to get out of it...you know...tell the interviewer the guy is obviously guilty, or maybe have a few rye and cokes before the jury selection....

Or you could do your civic duty and do it.

yeah, someday you may be the guy on trial. Not fun. Many moons ago I had an experience where I found myself sitting in a nasty Greek jail in Thessaloniki for almost a month and whenever I went to trial the only people that spoke English were the interpreter and myself, it's a beeotch whenever the judge is yelling and making a whole lot of aggressive hand gestures and finger pointing at you while you don't have a clue what's going on. That's all, carry on.

yeah, someday you may be the guy on trial. Although I do agree with that, some of us couldn't really afford to serve jury duty...due to work or otherwise. Not sure how it works in the US but I understand in Canada we are not compensated for lost wages/income. I am self employed, so jury duty, esp these days with a poor economic outlook could become an issue for people like myself. One day trial...maybe, but if things were to go several days or longer.....

Wayne, too much Ouzo, my Fiat 124 Sport and a trip to the big town on a rainy night to our favorite pizza joint wasn't meant to be on that particular night. I was stationed in a small village north of there and was was within 60 days of leaving there and the Army for good after three one year stints in a row, the judge wanted to make sure I wouldn't skip out on paying the damages for the two other cars and held me in jail until I extended in the Army and Greece for one more year to be able to make the payment ... after four years in Greece, payment made!
Edited to add ... the food was horrible, buddies from my Army detachment brought food once or twice daily, thank God!
