That doesn't work anymore, they are onto it

The last time I went I told the judge I was moving my mother-in-law into her new house the first day of the trial (I actually was doing that) and he told me I would have to be in court. I pointed out that if I blew off my mil, I would hear about it for the rest of my life. But if I blew off court, the repercussion could only last about 3 years max. He didn't like it, but he let me go.

Well when I'm working for my father I am a mechanic so won't be hard to pull that one off.

Speeder that aint fair. I've only been eligible for jury duty for ~1.5 yrs and they already called me. SOB.

I go in in a suit, High and tight, mirrored sunglasses and shiny black FeeBee shoes.

Tell them I'm only interested in seeing justice served by all the miscreant low life's that pass through their doors.

I've never had to come back.

Mirrored sunglasses wouldn't work out well for this guy. Pesky prescription glasses and lack of contacts.

Also: I'd be happy to deliver your nice shiny green hood to your door, Jim. I go right past you on 95 on my way home from Jersey whereas Greg would be on 84.

Last weekend we were working on other Jim's OBS. This coming Wednesday I'm headed to Tennessee, but the CT Jim shipping department won't be open when the truck is headed through Stamford on the way back. (think 1am) I'll bring it back at some point after RRE.

Evening guys.

I heard that a neighbor had a bear in their yard over the weekend.

Jim (rat49f6) thank you for your offer to to Jim for your hood.

Pete they have NO way to prove that you got the paperwork for jury duty.
Just don't send it back and ignore them.
Until they send it reg. mail they can not do anything.

Andy I'm thinking of the bandaid approach here. Get it over and done with and have immunity for 3 years.

Bear walked down the train tracks next to Jam's shop 3x that I saw personally over the course of a weekend. Black bears are pansies unless you get between a mama bear and her cubs.
