Juror #29

I had the privilege of reporting for jury duty yesterday.

It was weird, I don't know if I was just delirious from all of the waiting and questions but just about
everyone looked like someone from the movies.

The defendant's lawyer looked just like
Dana Delany from Tombstone.


The plaintiff's lawyer looked just like the character Eric Gordon from Billy Madison.
(not adam sandler's character)

And the plaintiff looked just like Lawrence Fishburne.


Needless to say, I was a bit distracted.

BUT

I didn't get picked.

They told us that if we talked a lot we would most likely be passed over for the jury.
If there's one thing I can do, it's talk.
So I talked.
A lot.
As much as I possibly could.

Apparently, it worked.
