    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    "I'm a strong proponent of jury nullification"

    nah, unless there was something that came up, I'd probably serve.

    Homer Simpson - Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races.

    I got called in, waited there all day, went up and sat in the jury box, got asked some personal-ass questions by the lawyers in front of a room full of people, and then the prosecutor dismissed me on account of her being a stupid bitch.

    Just say something a little snarky on the stand and they'll send you home.

    When my Dad was summoned, he pretended he was a racist "me-no-speakey" Italian, so he got off.

    I actually just got a letter as a potential juror, to answer a questionnaire. I need to get around to doing that thing. I won't serve, because I'm a college student.

    Yes, I have. It was a rhetorical question imploring the citizens of EoFF to perform their civic duties.

    Don't you get paid to serve?

    I've never been summoned.
