[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1418492, member: 52978"] I've got a good jury duty story. The last time I served, it ended up being for a full week, mon-fri. An older gentleman was in the jury pool. He was 70+ years old. The judge made a big deal out of it, asking him why, since he could have gotten out of serving because of his age, did he want to serve? The old guy basically said, hell he didn't have anything better to do, so he came. The judge goes on and on "Look at this man, coming all the way downtown to do his civic duty when he could have begged off...blah blah." Well, the old timer got picked, and so did I. Only problem is, he couldn't stay awake. We sure as hell didn't want to sit thru a week of testimony and have it thrown out because one of the jurors took naps. I sat right behind sleeping beauty, and my fellow jurors elected me to keep an eye on him. When I saw his head nod, I kicked the back of his chair or poked him in the side to wake him up. We made it through the whole week, and sent a child molester to prison for life to boot. [/QUOTE]
