Aine, you outdo yourself! And Michael, after reading a few of these threads this evening, that thought occured to me also!

I found a great, well not exactly great, way to be excused for the remainder of the week......absessed tooth removed this afternoon!!! Well I know it won't work every week and I don't feel so hot right now, but it beats sitting in court!

In this county they run 4 juries at a time and if you get lucky, you will never have to go a day. They're not big on excusing people either. My mistake was trying all the truthful reasons which should have done it. Judge Martin doesn't see it that way. And who knows, maybe something interesting will happen! The county Sheriff has 323 (true, not an exaggeration) indictments against him, and I'd LOVE to be on that jury!!! Won't happen this soon, but its a nice thought!
