Jury Duty (almost...)

I was to be on jury duty this whole week. Showed up Monday morning ready to go dish out some good old fashioned justice. Back pack full of books to entertain myself during any down time. Was placed on one panel to be picked for a jury. AFter a series of questions regarding the case, I was rejected. Got to go to lunch early, so I made the best of it and went to one of my favorite restaurants in the 'burg Molly Branigans. I enjoyed the company of my special lunch guest and got my Irish on with a corned beef boxty.

1 o'clock, back to wait to be chosen for another jury panel. Waited until 2:30, then 3 more panels were chosen. Still rejected. Those of of left were then told we would be very happy with the next announcement. Me, being one for the small rewards in life figured we wouldn't have to come in until like 10 the next morning. Wrong. We were sent home with letters to prove we had been on jury duty for the day. Just one day? I had a whole week of lunches planned in my head. I was finally going to read the Constitution like I have been talking about doing for quite some time now. Oh well, maybe in 3 years when I am eligible to be picked again...
