Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races.
I'm the one who gets called up about a problem. I'm the one who gets called up about the street lighting and the abandoned car. I'm the one who gets blamed if the police don't arrive. I'm the one they blame if a city truck is broken down.
I sort of love reading the scripts and going, 'Oh wow, what a great idea. I never would have thought of that.'
