Summoning a clown as a juror

Bah...so I have to attend jury duty tomorrow at 8:30 am I find it disturbing that I was randomly chosen...pfffffft you don't ask clowns to serve for the country...at least not that way of serving

Anyone been called before? I hope it's no more than a day...I can't entertain myself for too long in a civil building lol

lol, don't worry about going more than a day. Most trials last from 1-3 hours. You may not even be chosen. Still gonna be a right off day, that's shitty luck.

Hey, if Johnnie Cochran is the defense attorney for this trial then maybe you will have the pleasure of witnessing the Chewbacca Defense!



If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Wookies don't come from Endor. Nor do they come from the moon of Endor where the Ewoks live.


Wookies come from Kashyyyk.

That's the whole point of the Chewbacca Defense though. If Chewbacca lives on Endor, therefore the world is crazy, so you must aquit.

ahahaha Chewbacca Defense! pfffffft nerds

So...after getting there 20 minutes early, I was imprisoned in a room with hundreds of Canadians. They made us watch a useless short film about being a juror and then they told us the "good" news. Not only would we have to be there until 5 pm today...but we're supposed to attend the whole fucking week When I heard that...I had the most ridiculous expression on my face...I even started to breathe heavily LOL...Fortunately they gave us a chance to get out of it if we couldn't attend...and that's when I realised...I'm a student! So I told them I was a full time student, even though I'm not currently attending classes due to the strike, and that I needed the time for completion of assignments + studying for exams...Which will most likely result to me procrastinating some more lol. DUH! I'm such a dofus sometimes...I could have just stated that on the questionaire long ago. I think I did though...but those idiots decided to put me down as a "Programmer" instead of a "Student." wtplow! I'm glad I got myself out of that...for now at least It's a shame though...I was looking forward to Chewbacca's trial

Or just show up wearing any one of the T-shirts from tshirthell.com. The legal system just doesn't have a good sense of humour.
