This coming from a guy, no one on here has ever meet,

Thank god you don't charge me for living
in your head, you are absolutely obsessed
with everything I say. You must think about
me all day long, and I never give you a 2nd
thought because I actually have a life outside
this place. Keep reading and studying my
posts, you might learn something. lol

Bob stated earlier in the thread that if you throw the notice out they can't prove that you ever got it so you are in the clear.

If I send you a letter and you say you never
got it, how do I prove you did. Think about it.
There's no proof of delivery, that's why god
invented registered mail.

Did "the dog ate my homework" ever work for you when you were in school?

If you do have to go in, make sure to bring a fake note from your doctor explaining why you can't serve. Be sure to write the note in crayon and sign it "The Doctor". It would also be best to misspell some words; Axel can help with this if you're not sure.

Don't need an excuse, just don't show up
like 85% of those that get notices. I truly
believe justice should be meted out by
all of you chomping at the bit to serve.
Go get em..

Your buddy could learn a lot from this post before he banned you there. Ha ha. So did he take you back yet or you got replaced?

As for jury duty. No biggie just a day out and you are most likely done. If you want to be on a jury you show your open mindedness and act personable you will most likely be picked. Most of the folks who wants/ends up in a jury are the retirees and folks with nothing to do. If you don't want to be in a jury show doubt with the lawyers that you might be biased and you are sent back downstairs where most likely you will be sent home!

I have never been called to jury duty, but if I ever do get called I would happily do it. I am sure its not fun (no experience, but from everything I have heard, it sounds boring and mundane). But the price to leave in a progressive republic is to perform your civic duties. Plus of all the civic duties that are required from you jury duty is the most cushy of all, you sit in an air condoitioned room and watch people talk, not even slightly hard or dangerous. And the only reason that it is mandatory is because it ensures a large selection of people, if juries only took volunteers there would be a very select group that volunteered (who would likley be bias or have an agenda). So forcing random people to do it ensures a random unbiased sample.
The right to a fair trial by a fairly selected jury is one of the principles that founded this country.
