Oh Muh Gosh ... guess who just got a jury summons ...

[kenny]

... my SO.
No sh!t!

He's pissed.
He's Mexican-American and claims I used my magical "white power" to get him summoned.
I told him I turned him in when my trial was over.
(He knows I'm joking.)

LOL.

Like many, and perhaps most, he does NOT want to go, and really really does NOT want to get onto on a trial.


Awwww, Poor Poor Babysito.

.... be nice to him Kenny

What a strange coincidence!

Can he possibly fane madness by licking his arms & swatting imaginary flies from around his face & keep jumping up & shouting out I see what you are doing.....this is a conspiracy!!!

Your SO needs to learn to yank on your chains better. Have him call me.

For instance, using “white power” was not creative enough. He needed to use recent events to create an impactful & colorful entry.

I would have guided him to say, “Guess what? I get an opportunity to go sit weeks on jury duty and hang them even with clear evidence that points to a guilty verdict. I am so excited!”

Then you would have properly empathized with his pains and not called him a babysito.

What a strange coincidence!

Is it though?

I wonder whether it's related to living at the same address.

Hubby got his summons two weeks after I received mine.

Here from what i have observed over the years they seem to take the names from the proprty rates register or where ever they keep records of who owns property
Gary has been called once way back in the 80s when he owned a business and a house with his wife

this had better not jinx me btw !

So, in NZ only property owners can serve on a jury?
Hmm.
Why would owning property make one a better juror than someone who rents?

I prefer the idea of a jury of your peers.

Its odd i admit
