Re: Baron & Griffin: HELP! (Or anyone else....)
usually you get the initial 'call' where you have your options to petition the court for leave. I get these things all the time and each time I go to the Dr and get a written leave due to medical reasons, mail it in and they send me an exemption. You have to give good cause for an exemption

You'll be home in a half-hour.
Seriously, use some variation of this giving a hint that you can't be impartial, and you'll be toast.
Every time I've been, as soon as I say I'm a pastor, I'm immediately dismissed.
EDIT: Looks like Randy stole my thunder!  In the mouths of two or three witnesses!!

Or try picking at yourself, then frantically wiping off yourself while muttering "Snakes?!"

I thought you were exempt if you had small children at home? Are yours young enough to qualify?

Start talking to yourself or invisible friend.

“I don't have time for it, I don't want to do it, I'll be bored out of my skull and I have MUCH better things to do with my time!”
Those are all the same excuses I hear when we have a cleaning party at the church, lol. But this is much more important that that. Jury duty is a civic duty and you should be willing to endure the inconvenience just because it is the price you pay to have the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of your peers when you stand accused someday.
Believe it or not, the last time I was on Jury Duty I actually enjoyed it. It was a life experience everyone needs to have.
