on 6/21/2007 How is this helping us get out of Jury duty? I don't think you should try to get out of Jury duty unless you have a valid reason. Some valid reasons may include a death in the immediate family, a life threatening emergency, or a vested interest in the case being presented.

on 10/23/2006 Great advice, but if you want to get out of jury duty, answer every question with "because I said so your honor." If you're pressured to say something different, tell them you're a disciple of osama been lyin' and that they're all evil shoers. Tell them have some nerve wearing hush puppies to court. You can thank me once you're free.
