I have to send a form off within 7 days and then have to wait. The form says 'it's very unusual for jury service to last more than 200 days' - *gulp*.
My first thought was, 'Can I take lappytop into the jury box so I can continue blogging during the boring bits? ' [I could pretend I'm taking notes] and after that my thoughts have been 'What's the case going to be about?'
I reckon it could be a serial killer that only kills on the 29th February - lack of commitment - guilty as charged.
Or a porn star who's been caught with her knickers up - discharged. (I wish you'd rephrase that. Lo,TG Ed)
Or a Chilean billionaire who is being done for tax evasion and offers bribes to the jurors - completely innocent.
Whatever it is, I am determined to play the part of Henry Fonda in 'Twelve Angry Men' but in reverse - I'll try and get the whole business dealt with as quickly as possible - I don't feel safe too far away from the terrible Goddess. (That's funny, my feelings of safety are influenced in quite a different fashion. Lo,TG Ed)
(It's a sobering thought isn't it; one day your fate might be in the hands of a juror of this ilk. Some of you must be quite glad there's a large body of water separating us. Lo,TG Ed)
