    Excellent., especially loved the last one
    Reminds me of one time I was called into jury duty. I would not have mined serving, but some of the dumb ass questions the attorneys were asking. The prosecutor attorney was seeing if I could be intimated (Wrong thought that just pisses me off) Asking me of several questions and then asked me if I would have a problem of sending a man to jell. I just looked at him and said that all of how well you do you do your job. He stood there for several seconds looking at me. Walked back to his desk laughing and sat down. End of discussion. Sorry, not trying to steal the thread. But I cannot believe some of this crap. lol Did you really pass your bar exam?? lmao

    While pulling jury duty all was asked to turn off our cell phones or remove them from the court room a lady was seen with her phone out and was texting . So the bailiff went over and took her phone.. At break the bailiff gave her her phone back and told her to put it in airplane mode and she could keep it .. Her response Doesn't that only work on airplanes?
