Somewhere out there, there’s a juror who has a last name that doesn’t begin a letter from the English alphabet.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Cher and the this guy wouldn't have to turn in their forms.

bagoh20 કહ્યું...

The artist formerly known as Prince would be there all day.

bagoh20 કહ્યું...

Ahh, Ken beat me to it.

Amartel કહ્યું...

Clerks. They're not paid to think.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

3Pio could feel his oil boil from the obvious discrimination.

Astro કહ્યું...

Derrick would have trouble, too.

edutcher કહ્યું...

All the guys with names beginning in theta, psi, phi, and xi are exempt.

Hagar કહ્યું...

How about those with names beginning in æ, ø, and å?

JackOfClubs કહ્યું...

I'm sure there are some Bushman names that start with an exclamation point. N!xau is close, but actual examples are hard to find... probably because they didn't turn in their forms.

MikeR કહ્યું...

I'm wondering if E.E. Cummings is exempt?

Chip Ahoy કહ્યું...

I clicked the hyperlink with highlighted word Derrick and an advertising ran immediately where I was expecting content so I left.

Tibore કહ્યું...

Another great moment in verbosity:

And from a cartoon, too! :D

George Costanza wanted to name his son 7. An homage to Mickey Mantle.

Dr Weevil કહ્યું...

Some Swedes and Norwegians would not turn in their forms. Each language has three more letters after Z: in Swedish å ä ö, in Norwegian æ ø å. Would they be excused from jury duty, or would they be stuck on the jury forever?

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

Is it possible the clerk was making a bad joke?

Astro કહ્યું...

Sorry Chip Ahoy. I'm not responsible for the ad. But the clip from Fry and Laurie that follows it is pretty good imho.

Jaske કહ્યું...

THX-1138 will be taken into custody at a minimal monetary expenditure. Total operation cost: six thousand credits under budget. Congratulations. Be efficient, be happy.

gadfly કહ્યું...

So where did your son find this quote? Google doesn't have it now, although it refers to this Legal Insurrection post - which does not now contain this phrase.

Rick કહ્યું...

3537. Superfluity does not vitiate.
Supposedly, per California's civil code.

David કહ્યું...

Jurors who can not spell their own names--stay where you are.

Penny કહ્યું...

Jury holding areas always remind me of airline boarding areas for large flights.

Filled to the brim with a bunch of unhappy people, they are!

Just think of the nice chunk of change you'd make if you got a dollar for every time someone looked at their watch or a clock.

Dave કહ્યું...

Someone said - "3Pio could feel his oil boil from the obvious discrimination"

Is it really that hard to figure out how to spell "C-3PO"?

And by the way, a whole lot of geniuses were so busy bashing teachers on the post about teachers in Janesville that they never realized that a "flier" is an aviator or a passenger on a plane or a bird - but it's NOT a FLYER.

(That's why they ask, "Can you use it in a sentence?" at spelling bees. Apparently, it wouldn't help with this bunch!)

So glad you're all smarter than those stupid, greedy teachers !!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

My son encountered the sign in person, in NYC, where he was called to jury duty.

John Althouse Cohen કહ્યું...

It was a verbal instruction, not a sign.

Leon કહ્યું...

My very first thought

Methadras કહ્યું...

100% of all people will die. True fact. You can look it up.

Yawn.
