Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) was called for jury duty in her home state Monday.

So she did what many tech-savvy Americans with a sense of humor would: live-tweet her experience.

And the 62-year-old McCaskill sent out some rich material, if courtroom humor is your thing.

Here are McCaskill's tweets from her Monday morning appearance:

Hiding in corner as judge explains to large juror pool that we get paid only $10 a day. That's #moleg not DC folks.

By rough calculation I count 2 knitters, with rest of the about 150 potential jurors divided equally between reading paper & reading screens

One knitter gone. But not me. Question for Twitter: are they skipping me on purpose?
