Jury Duty

Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to be excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment and didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial from running its proper course.

But the public defender liked her thoughtfulness, and tried to convince her that she was appropriate to serve on the jury.

"Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial! It's a simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."

"Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I'll serve. I guess I could be wrong about capital punishment after all."

Very funny! I would be very angry if my husband gambled away my remodeling money too! And is that woman nuts? It costs at least 4 times as much to really do a fantastic remodel on a kitchen! Don't we all wish?

This is funny! We received a bonus check from husband's company and I want to look at new counter tops for the kitchen. I dreampt that he had bought a red truck with the money instead and I COULD have killed him. Lucky for both of us, it was just a dream!

MissPepr, it wouldn't do for "Mrs. Hunter" and you to be on the same jury. LOL

TM I haven't been able to shop for the counter tops yet because of my illness.

MB, no it wouldn't be a good idea for us both to be on the jury. LOL We would have made him pay the wife the $12,000!
