I've been a registered voter for 14 years. Yet while my sister-in-law has been picked for jury duty 5 times in that time, I have yet to get one call or mail notice. Mrs. Shambles received one a few years ago that turned into "You don't need to show up tomorrow."
So how do we get to serve our civic duty?

this spring I was finally chosen...was 30 years since I was last called and at the time wasn't chosen - was a civic privilege and honor to sit in on a case....
good luck...many of my buds thought I was nuts as I was looking forward to jury duty and was particularly pleased to have gotten chosen.... hey what can I say....
Like Homer, are you prejudiced against all races?
I often joke about the least amount of words you could utter to get dismissed from a jury (probably 1 - a racial slur - despite the question), but I secretly want to go through the process.
Perhaps after being through the process spouting a one-word racial slur won't be so much of a joke, but I want to be a part of my government, damnit!
