How am I getting another request for jury duty? I just went last year. I had to scroll through my posts to see when that was and I was reminded of this.
11 Angry Men and Me
Yesterday I had to go to jury duty and though I raised my hand and swore not to talk about any of the details of the case I can tell you that during the selection process someone left what was probably the loudest fart I have ever heard. And no one said a thing. Not even an "Impressive!" whistle. I wanted the judge to pound the gavel, "Order, order!" but there was just silence. No one even turned his head to have a look around and connect with a suppressed grin, "Did he just...? Yes he did!" For half a second everyone in the room collectively and silently acknowledged what had just happened and then proceeded. I had two thoughts:
1. Thank God that wasn't me.
2. I am in a room filled with mature adults. (for possibly the first time in my life!)
