How often have you been selected for jury duty?

[Buzz]

Used to get nabbed about every other year for over 35 years, then finally had to get a permanent medical DQ awhile back. Got polled for a few juries, but only got seated as a real juror for one, which of course settled before any fireworks. Mrs. Buzz OTOH has had the pleasure of actually sitting for a few juries since we've been together, as well as a couple more before we met; she's a pro at it. If you don't get any postponements, you could/would probably get a jury summons about every 15 months in parts of LA County. Around here, everybody seems to ask for postponements, since IIRC they give you two w/o much of a hassle, then you ask for a change of venue because travel is a hardship, then if you're lucky you can wrangle another postponement, then you're finally stuck, and assuming you've picked a courthouse that does phone in service from the get-go, you call in each night until you're told to report the next day, or your duty is up. The days of milling around the courthouse for a couple of weeks, waiting for Godot, were over last century.
