No Kaufmanesque Epiphany Here

I didn't get picked for jury duty today.

It was just a little civil case with just 5 witnesses total. The attorney for the plaintiff began by asking general questions of the jurors. What is your name, where do you work, do you vote Dem or Rep, and one other question, what do you think of the economy, i.e. who is to blame.

Well as you can guess, most of the sheeple said that it was the greedy executives, yada, yada. When he got to me, he forgot to ask MY opinion. So being the meek, little, wall flower that I am, I spoke up and said, "You didn't as me what I think of the economic mess." Since he didn't know me very well, he says, "I'm sorry, what is your opinion of the matter?"

That's all I needed. I said, "Sure there was greed and corruption, but you can lay every bit of it at the feet of the Democrats in Congress who three years ago stood in front of a hearing involving the CEO of Freddie Mac and knowingly covered up for his cooking the books."

I think I took most people off guard.

Anyway, when it came time to select jurors, I was the very first one dismissed. The other jurors got a laugh at that as I got up and and said, "Gee, I wonder why?"

I think they will remember me.

I'll bet you're right! :)

1. They also probably remember the adult in the pink bunny suit

jumping up and down shouting, "Pick me! Pick me!"

the guy flinging his boogers all about on the bus the last time I rode it...
