    So, I was having a discussion with my family about jury duty, and according to my father ( who has done jury duty), he says that like 93.14159265358979323846 of all the people try and get out of it with their feeble excuses.

    Now I myself wont be going ( or be able ) to go on jury duty for a few years, but when the time comes I want a stockpile of excuses to throw before the...umm... "government officials", as everyone says that jury duty is really cr*p

    So, post your excuses here no matter how stupid or ridiculous they are

    My personal one that will DEFINITELY WORK is: As every one is so overly stereotypical these days, and think that all Asians can't speak English well, and think everything is worth "2 dollar" ( to an Asian) , I will get one of those translator things, and whenever I have to talk, will key in something in and make it say something in English (for example: Me no speak English, or something along those lines).

    Well, that's enough from me, so post your excuses here K?

    Yeah, but trials go on for AGES, with postpones and changes of dates. Also, you get a pay of 30$ a day or something, and thats for the WHOLE DAY. A 18 year old MacDonald employee gets about that much in like... 2 and a half hours.

    93 people out of the thousands of people ever called for Jury Duty isn't that much tongue.gif

    Very, very big difference.

    P.S I'd voluntarily do Jury Duty if they paid $30 an hour (and if I were old enough).

    Well when you are on a full time job, 30 bucks a day is nothing.
