LOL. Yes, sky. I did. I just was called for jury duty last week myself. So, I thought it was appropriate question as well.

Never have used an excuse. Been called twice and served both. It was an interesting experience.

I haven't had to give an excuse just yet but I don't think I'd mind going if the courts wernt so tyrannic about it. They act like they own you and TELL you you must go or else you will get jail and fines. I know in my area they will not pay you more than 5 bucks a day for service!. That is a slap in the face for someone who makes 50k a year and then won't provide for parking and will pay very little for gas to get to court...oh but hey they are nice enough to give you a bus pass or trolley ticket! That in my opinion is unconstitutional. No wonder why people have a chip on their shoulders when they get the call.

Several and have never had a judge detain me for my freedom to express why I don't want to do jury duty. Did you read todays news on Yahoo?

The best way to get out of anything is to tell them you have explosive diarrhea. It will get you out of anything.

Tell them you're married to a cop. They'll never contact you again!

just say "My grandmother is very sick and i need to stay with her at all times". since that is very personal, they won't question it.
