Jury duty today! I do believe I detect a "guilty" conviction on the early October morning air, with autumnal undertones of corporal punishment. I assume they explain out alll the buying-off details when you arrive at the courthouse—nevertheless, I'm looking forward to hanging 'em high while waxing The Firm for millions of crooked bucks. All that and a $7 lunch stipend? Quite a little country we've got on our hands.
UPDATE: I kid, I kid. Obviously I'm going to do whatever the trial lawyer lobby asks me to. Let me tell you, jury duty doesn't disappoint. Ken Burns's Jazz is playing and I've got WiFi. I only get $4, though, which means that I'm subtracting $3 worth of mercy.
