Oh yeah baby. Though I'll probably be turned away because of education, education areas of study, wife's occupation and wife's employer.
Oh well.

Quickest way to get out of jury duty, is respond to every question they ask you with, Is the defendant black? Because I hate black people.
They say when you go on a quest for vengence to dig two graves. They underestimate me.

Woah, you misunderstand. I want to do jury duty. It will be a change of pace for how I spend my workday. However I strongly doubt I would be selected. If they start asking too many questions about my thoughts on criminal justice it will no doubt get weird. For example whenever I take one of those political compass tests I end up near the edges in socialist territory.

And what is the lesson we learn from this class? Taking political compass tests turn you into a socialist.

I had jury duty earlier this year and more than likely, you won't get chosen. I got into the initial selection of one trial, but then they only needed 6 and I didn't get chosen for that final six. Other than that, it's a lot of waiting. Heh.

Is "jury duty" in Texas the same as "firing line" elsewhere?

Well in that case I'll likely fail the test to be a juror. I haven't shot a gun since I was like 12.

So I haven't shot a gun since I was 12 big freaking deal. While you plebes enjoy your boom boom sticks, I've preferred to study and embrace explosives. What's better than a bullet? A grenade.
Also flame throwers are freaking cool.

Wait, there are Black people in Texas? And bobcat rentals are only $90 per hour including the Operator?
Well, I know what I am doing next time in in Austin.
Yep, eating more brisket, you racists. No one would really rent a Bobcat to bury Black people up to their necks.
This... I Command!

What a failure in nominating leadership.
Hasn't fired a gun in approximately 20 years...
Thinks a grenade is an Evian bottle with dry ice tossed in a pond...
Gives crane rental rates that require you to call to get a quote...
Even the love of flamethrowers isn't redeeming since lighting your own farts doesn't really count as using a flamethrower.
I say we just shoot him in the freaking face as a TRUE Alvian would. And not with a .22 either.
