This is what I'm talking about

I was just saying the other day how much it irked me that people do whatever they can to avoid jury duty.

Amazing that in one society, people can dislike work so much that the phrase "mental health day" was created. And yet, when given the opportunity to take a day off with a perfectly legitimate excuse--one for which they will most likely be free to leave by lunch time--they try to scam their way out of it.

It's even more amazing when you consider American's almost bottomless thirst for gossip and getting in each other's business and the fact that a trial is just about the ultimate gossip experience.

Jury duty is something to look foward to in my opinion.
