I had a funny experience when I was being questioned for a possible jury; one of the defense's table of atty's, out of the blue, asked me if I had ever heard of National Review. Without thinking, I just replied that yes, I actually had a subscription to it. I think I pretty much sealed my fate as not suitable for jury duty in his mind. He didn't ask another question. Needless to say, I wasn't asked to serve, even though I was very interested in doing so. Apparently I was not qualified for some reason... every other time I've been called for duty, they didn't even bring in a jury, plee bargains or whatever at the 11th hour, so I just sat reading magazines for a few hours with 20 people, and then was sent home.
