Originally posted by Baron View Postwe had a dude shit himself where I work, he was in a meeting with the big dogs about to get fired. He shit his pants, cleaned them out the best he could, and went back into the meeting. The VP said something to the effect of " hey dumbass, we were about to fire you, get the fuck out of here" when he walked back in, kaki's covered in shit."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

We're allowed to take tablets/laptops. I took mine but wasn't there long enough. We had 5 court cancellations and I wasn't needed. I found out you can also take drinks...I was bummed out since I left my coffee in the truck.
I was selected another time about 2 years ago. It was for some drunk guy that showed his genitals outside of a bar and a woman was offended I guess and pressed charges. Once they started asking me some questions, I had stated that some people need to grow thicker skin...I was dismissed shortly after. Thinking back now, I kick myself for not coming up with something better.

Here is Ellis county they line you up from "most likely to be selected" to least likely. They base it off that questionnaire they send in the mail that you take with you. I am always the "least likely" out of about 60 people. They didn't even ask my whole row of people any questions (3rd row)

I had it in FTW once, It for a very upstanding individual who was caught in possession of a stolen truck. He claimed it was given to him. I told them well he is defiantly guilty of something. He may not have stole it but he was driving so he I guess he is guilty of possession but not theft. About 5 minutes later I was dismissed.
