Jury Duty
“I hear this new judge is a pushover.” Doug leaned towards the little gray haired old lady sitting next to him. “Not like the one who just retired. She was mean to everyone, I hear. Her nickname isn’t something I can repeat to a lady such as you. I have a plan on just how crazy to act so I won’t get chosen for jury duty. How about you?”
“I don’t have a plan,” she replied. “It’s my first time being called for jury duty, but I don’t think they’ll choose me.”
“Why’s that?”
“I’m the judge who just retired.”

It's a long story ... 
Mouth already open – insert foot now. 😆
We just can’t tell by looking at someone what their story is, can we?
Ha.. I really hope they will be in a hanged jury together…:-)
Hahahahaha!
What’s the name of the judge?
Which one?
The judge with no thumbs.
Oh! Justice Fingers!
Funny story, Tresha!
Hehe, that had me laughing out loud. I hope that guy will choke on his words and pay a juicy fine (or such, not sure about your rules over there.)
Love it! That’s the kinda’ thing I would do.
‘Joy’ a very short story!
Looks like someone is about to be stuck with jury duty. 🙂 Hilarious! Well done.
Funny story, Tresha. I told someone one time to be careful what they said as you never know what a person’s background is. That would really be embarrassing. It’s funny to read about, though. 😀 — Suzanne
Haha – excellent story 🙂
