[list=1][*]I have to go to jury durty tomorrow. Any tips for getting the hell out at voir dire? Apparently a simple "I'm a lawyer" isn't as effective as it used to be.
[*]I had lunch with a guy who, when he found out I'm a lawyer, started asking me about how to get out of some sort of boating citation (something involving failure to have an observer while a kid was on a jet ski type thing in another state). His big issue was that it's a Class C Misdemeanor and he doesn't want that "on his record." The fine is $150. I ducked and hemmed and hawed and said I wasn't really a criminal defense attorney licensed in Arizona, but maybe he should call the court and/or DA and see what they ahve to say. He wanted to know if he should request a jury trial. Does anyone actually care about Class C Misdemeanors? This guy is a physician, and I'm pretty sure that neither hospitals nor medical boards care.

You're going to play that way? I'm spelling it out then.

Memories
Like the corner of my mind
Misty watercolored memories
Of the way we were

Excuse me...
 

I will! Keep an eye out for section 113, row U, seats 12 and 13!

Excuse me...
 

Eagles should bring back Vince Papale. To play. No RBs and no WRS does a very sucky team make. I thought about dressing up in a TO jersey and going there.

Lincoln Field is awesome. The crab fries are more addicive than crack.

Funniest day of my life was going to the Seattle -- Eagles Monday night game last year in a snowstorm. Was fucking 21 nothing before I got to my seat.

I am not a homer but I like the Jints. Not to go all the way, but at least to run through the div.

Carolina, Tampa, CHI also beckon.

I kind of like it. Although there is no one who has or ever would say that to her, ever, in her entire life,* it is fun to imagine how she could have mistaken an unrelated statement for a compliment.

Banker: Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
ppnyc: Ohmigod! Are you suggesting I make you hot or that I just am hot?

Sbux patron: Excuse me.
ppnyc: Ohmigod, you perv! If you want some of these 38Es, you can just forget it!

Attorney: Copy this.
ppnyc: (Did you see that? He can't stop coming over here and giving me attention. Yesterday he asked me if I did something to my head. Although I had just walked into a door, I think he was talking about my hair.)

Guy at bar, looking at his wine: Nice legs.
ppnyc: Thank you!

Excuse me...
 

You've gone down on ppnyc?

(Okay, I apologize, Sid. I know I have to because I just made myself sick. And that ain't easy to do.)

Don't say "I'm a lawyer." I would say "I do complex patent prosecution and litigation for very large corporate clients...." you might say "i do high-level medical legal work trying to get fair coverage for underpriveleged individuals." or whatever it is you do. i am not encouraging you to lie.

What you want to do is convince one of the two lawyers that because you do more complex law than they do, and/or you have a bias for/against little guys, they do not want you on their jury.

Open Question
 

No. I'm just satisfied knowing that some people like me and I'm happy in my own skin regardless of what anyone else thinks about it. This is the kind of peace you start to develop once you've experienced enough of life. You know, after about 40 years or so.

Excuse me...
 

RT, is this outable?

You can be in mine. It'll cost you $50. Same as in Vegas. But I won't give you a lap dance.
