In about 50 minutes from now, Mrs. That Dan Guy will report for yet another surreal experience in this ongoing Twilight Zone that we call our lives these days. She has been summoned for jury duty!
We have no idea what the case may be, or if she will even be chosen, but it just adds another car to the Rollercoaster Of Surreal we seem to be caught on lately. If it’s a criminal case, she could be tied up for a week or more. If it’s a civil case, it may be just a day.
I tried to get her to wear a monocle, or bring a couple of cats, but she’s just a spoilsport when it comes to doing things by the book.
And, even though today is April Fool’s,, this is NOT a gag – she really is going to be (possibly) a juror.
Good thing we used to watch L.A. Law faithfully. I did remind her that only the lawyers can holler “Objection!”
Chow for now…

Ay Karamba!! What next?
Can't even hazard a guess.
Yellow Fever?
Ear welts?
Split ends??
The mind boggles...
just yell "guilty"
Ear welts? Well....Van Gogh might have something to say about that.
"Death Penalty For Littering!!"
Shh! Don't say that our loud...
Oh, never mind...
It was a very cool experience, just going through the selection process. Names are literally drawn from a drum (there was around 150 of us) and you go up to stand in front of prosecutor and defendant and they say "yes m'lady" or "no m'lady" (I kid u not). I was never pulled from the drum. We were in the largest courtroom in North America (holds over 300 people), very nice. It WAS for a criminal trial which would have ran for 2 weeks! Oye yoye yoye! Well, it was a new experience, kind of refreshing.
You were IN the drum? Cool...
