You've got to respect this guy. He stands up for what he believes and states his case clearly and without equivocation:

I was looking for Andym's signature at the bottom of that.Several boats in various stages of destruction -
Mate I have only been asked to do jury bloody duty once! I was diamond drilling at the time about ten years ago and had been away for three weeks. Got home on the Sunday and there was a letter telling me to be present for duty on the monday morning. Now I had to back on the rig Teusday and earning $300+ after tax a day there was NO way I was going to help them jail some poor prick. They came out and called names and it turned out I was one of the unlucky ones to get picked. Long story short I said G'Day mate to the prisoner and gave him a cheeky wink. Well all hell broke loose! Lawyers on both sides were jumping up and down and the shirt lifting old Judge nearly shat himself. That was 10.30 am, I was in the pub across the road at 10.35am home by midnight and in the landcruiser at 5.30 am the next mornig for the 300 km drive back to the rig!
Moral of the story always,always say G'Day to the people less fortunate than yourself and good things will happen for you.
Cheers
Andrew the drunk!

Here's a better way to get out of jury duty (it worked for me): Tell them you are a university-educated conservative that believes in the Constitution as written. You will be out of the jury pool on the first round of preemptives. If you want to get thrown out even faster, tell them you listen to Rush, Hannity, Levin, Hedgecock, and most of all, Savage.A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolvesComment

I've always wanted to serve on a jury. I got my first notice for NJ while I was away at school in NC, another while I was self-employed and unable to take time off, and the third about 2 weeks after moving OUT of NJ to IL.
