Was called to jury duty yesterday. I got on the line to ask to be excused. People went in one at a time and spent about five minutes with the judge and lawyers before leaving. Except for one woman -- one overweight woman -- who came out literally within fifteen seconds after the door had closed when she went in.

Whatever her story was, it must have been as heartbreaking as it was short. Or maybe the lawyers simply took one look at her and waved bye-bye...
