Jury Duty
As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the jury selection process.
First a computer randomly selects a few hundred citizens from the
entire county to report for jury duty on a particular day. Then
another computer assigns 40 of those present to a courtroom. Then the
40 names are placed into a drum, and a dozen names are pulled.
During jury selection for one trial, the judge asked potential Juror
No. 12 if there was any reason he could not be a fair and impartial juror.
"There may be," he replied. "Juror No. 1 is my ex-wife, and if we
were on the same jury, I guarantee we would not be able to agree on anything."
Both were excused.Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

To agree with the ex wife means you need to
talk to each other. That would excuse me.
Hope my missus does not see this.
