Cops used to be exempt from jury duty. Then it changed. Since we were never eligible, we did not have jury duty pay in our contract. One of my coworkers got called. He told the judge we did not get paid for jury duty. The judge said “You have vacation time, don’t you?”
In the first decade I lived in Oregon, I got five Jury Summons, including one for a Grand Jury 75 miles away. Never served on a jury, because lawyers hate STEM folks. Second decade – crickets.
Cheer up Jamaal. That’s where I met my wife. We’re now celebrating our Baskin-Robbins Anniversary. For those who don’t know, Baskin Robbins is an ice cream company who has 31 wonderful flavors! Of course, we had the same convictions, That’s justice for you!

You can usually get a postponement. But then it wouldn’t be as funny. lol

Walked into jury duty w/ my walker …they took one look at me; disappeared and came back w/ a two-year postponement letter… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Jury Duty is a bit boring but I don’t understand the automatic aversion to being called so many people have.
