"That's why I don't vote"....

That was my father's reply to my text sharing with him the news that I have jury duty for the month of February. 
My husband texted me asking if I could call him.... I'm thinking "uh-oh... what did one of the kids do now?"
When I called him he's laughing hysterically!!  When I asked what's up - his laughter redoubles as he tells me that after he got home from picking up Giblet #1 from school, there was an envelope taped to the front door from the Sheriff's office.... thinking something was terribly wrong, he opened it to find a summons.... for jury duty.... with MY name on it....

*sigh*

Oh well... I guess it could be worse....
My employer will pay for my time away....
The government will pay me for each day served...
And I get to practice my 19th amendment right... which of course, is how I got chosen in the first place. 
(side note: I'd MUCH rather be given the right to vote, and do so every time possible and have to sit in a stuff court room for a month than NOT vote at all....)

Yeah... it could be much worse.
