Judge: "Is there any reason you could not serve as a juror in this case?"

Juror: "I don't want to be away from my job that long."

Judge: "Can't they do without you at work?"

Juror: "Yes, but I don't want them to know it."

    An important and very well publicized murder trial was soon to begin. In preparation for the trial, the tiresome jury selection process took place, each side hotly contesting and dismissing potential jurors.
    One prospective juror, Dan, was called for his question session.
    He was asked, "Property holder?"
    Dan replied, "Yes, I am, Your Honor."
    Then he was asked, "Married or single?"
    Dan responded, "Married for twenty years, Your Honor."
    Then the judge asked, "Formed or expressed an opinion?"
    Dan stated with certainty, "Not in twenty years, Your Honor."

    Judge to prospective juror: "And why do you wish to be excused from serving on this jury?"
    "Your honor, it's because I don't believe in capital punishment and I don't want my personal thoughts to prevent the trial from running its proper course."
    "Madam, this is not a murder trial. It's a civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $25,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."
    "Well, okay. I'll serve. I guess I could be wrong about capital punishment after all."
