How sweet would it be if we got paid for jury duty

The last time I participated at the courthouse was several years ago and at the end of the day you were given a $10 check.

If Skinner decided to pony up $10 for every jury duty, how much would you be owed or what would you buy?

At 166 jury duties, I could stand a check for $1660.

What's going on? Everyone seems kind of "testy" lately!

I don't think DU can afford to pay us though! Maybe we could have free star status after so many juries? LOL (Not likely!)
