Seems a little gross to be number two, but, yup that's me, and at 9:15 tomorrow morning I'll be in Utica, New York reporting for duty. I have a copy of my MRI report ready to show any and everybody, but what if it's not enough?
Does anybody have any surefire get out of jury duty lines? Let's see what you got.

Oh no! A friend of my spouse's used to claim that he didn't get picked because he sat there all day with a Rush Limbaugh book prominently displayed as his reading material. Something by Bill-O would probably work just as well.
You can go in reading a book about neo-nazis and the KKK... I'd assume that would work...
Wait... Carlie already suggested Bill O'Reilly, my bad...
My close friend had a surefire way out of jury duty. When she would be asked a series of questions, she would answer vaguely with a sense of condescension. For instance if asked "Do you have a problem with certain ethnic groups" She would answer "I don't have a problem with them, i just don't trust them"
I am praying that you know the person who is on trial or someone involved. That is a sure way of getting out. If the name Douglas Timmian comes up, say that one of your past students graduated high-school with him (that's the truth, and he is soon to be on trial for murdering a woman who was crossing the street while he was driving his car drunk)That might help you get out if you are lucky enough to get his case!
I think if you just show up and act like yourself you'll be out of there in ten minutes tops.
I hear that sometimes they ask for volunteers - out of 100 people its not too hard to get 12 (or whatever) volunteers. Good luck!
PS I'm doing sound for a Barack N' Roll Rally tomorrow. Aren't you proud?!
