Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes, and that jury duty sucks.
So many of us have been through it, you get that notice in the mail and wonder if you can just pretend you didn’t see it. Maybe you’re the sort of person who is just able to travel for a month or two and didn’t keep up with your snail mail? No, you’re not that interesting, and anyway, jury duty does mean you can have an excuse not to go to work.
Oh, and also you’re a good upstanding citizen who respects the law and the values on which this country was founded—and you want to do your part!
