Funny Joke: How do you further stress a megastressed writer?

I would have guessed telling her she's having twins.

But that's just me.

I told the government to take my taxes and leave me the F*** alone.

Damn. They listened to me. I never get called.

I've never been called on for jury duty. Odd.

Sorry that this has come at such a bad time. Are you at least close to polishing off that contest piece?

Bleh. I had jury duty once. Spent half a day sitting through the selection process, only to have them tell us they didn't need any more jurors for that day.

So I had to sit through half a day of jury selection the next day. To be sent home AGAIN.

Jury duty sucks. I feel your pain.

OMG, I'm so sorry! Not what you need right now. I'll cross my fingers you get dismissed the first day.

Usually I get hit with JDuty after I have renewed my driver's license, or re-registered to vote. Last time was in CA where I was called into the courtroom on my first day. I told the judge that I have an uncle who is retired NCIS and two cousin's who are sheriffs. I was told to leave and in CA, if you are dismissed, you don't have to go back, and you won't get another notice for 3 years. I think that now it has even changed to a phone system where you call at a certain time to see if you are needed at the courthouse the next day.

I'm not sure what your state does, but I will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't last long!

Is it just me, or is October always a crazy time?

This one is for me. Sending out queries this week. I haven't sent any yet and I'm already a wreck. This month will mean much nail biting. Am I pregnant? If so, is it ectopic again? How many rejections am I going to get? Will Firebrand pick me up, maybe? Arrrrgh! *jumps in the crazy October boat with KTC*

Sorry that happened a-gain! But bet you'll be chosen as the foreman!

I'm the foreman of the bored. I cannot be foreman of the jury. I wish I could be chairman of the board...or even chairman of the bored. Sadly, I left my clipboard at the office.

I'm the sports technical committee chair on a national board of directors. What do I win?

KTC said:

HA! I just renewed about 3 weeks ago...not even. I wonder if that's why I got hit?

Yep!

KTC said:

How about a chair? I just won one. I was dead chuffed.


I think I'm chaffed now, though...I suspect it's digging into the backs of my legs?

Sorry. Show them your chapped *ss from your new chair. Tell 'em it's contagious.

"Have you ever done drugs?"
'Yes.'
"Do you have relatives that are policemen or lawyers"
'Yes.'
"Are you a homicidal maniac?"
'Yes.'
"Are you a habitual liar?"
'Yes.'


Lie yer ass off. make 'em think you're crazy ... no, wait! Tell the truth. Then they'll KNOW you're crazy.


Then you won't have jury duty - you'll need a jury.

I just notified your local authorities and justice system...

I was going to suggest going in with no shirt/shoes, in a pair of patched overalls and donning a straw hat. I also think you should black out some teeth with a Sharpie.
