re: Whats the best way to get out of Jury Duty?

Tell them you are an engineer. They won’t anything to do with you or your analytical thinking

Tell your work place to write a letter saying you'll be out of town. Worked for me.

Don't know if it was dumb luck or will work for next time, but be there right on time worked out for me last time. I got into the check in line a minute before the check in time. By the time I got to the front of the line they were starting to say they had enough for the day so stamped our letter and sent us home.

One time I did have a legit dumb luck situation but I had been there an hour or so. I was waiting in the room, checked in, and went to the bathroom. When I came out people were walking out with a smile on their faces and I asked someone what was going on. Apparently the balif came in and said "everyone on this half of the room can go home, and the rest stay"...so I just walked out with them since I had my letter stamped as being there.

The last time I was called, close to half were no shows. The judge just went on to the next name on the list.

Figured if I tell them something like "I believe I am pretty fair, but at times I have trouble suppressing my inner prejudiced thoughts"

You won’t do that.

And even if you do, the judge ought laugh and make sure you are picked.

Keep a pair of girls panties in your pocket and occasionally smell them.

Awful lot of honkies in here

The judge asked people who have a medical problem to raise their hand. I raised mine and he told me to come forward. He asked me my problem. I showed him the hearing aids that I wear and that I have great difficulty understanding all that is said in a large courtroom.

He excused me from jury duty.

Tell them you’re racist
