I don’t know why, but we still check our mail box. There is never anything good in there. All of our business is now done online and the only thing we ever find in the mailbox is junk mail or bad news.
Day after day we perform this ritual of checking the mailbox on the way in from work. Occasionally its empty (that’s a good thing). More often than not it full of total garbage that needs to be dumped into the trash as soon as we get to the apartment. Once in a while its bad news! Remember: I’ve been pardoned.
Well it seems that everyone gets their “Brush with the Law”, because the bad news in the mail box this time was a Jury Summons for my “Favorite Deaf Irish Woman”
I can just see this now! Can you imagine what would happen with Margaret on a jury!!!!!
Reading a little further there appears to be hope yet. One of the questions on the summons is: Do you have any disabilities that would keep you from serving on a jury? Check this box “ X” and include a letter stating what your disability is.
Ok write the letter and fill out the questionnaire and send the summons back to the bureaucracy to be processed, and wait……………………………………………
Eventually a few weeks later as the wheels of justice grind slowly……….
She has been released! But just in case the deafness is only a temporary situation the District Court reserves the right to call her to serve again!
Lesson learned!
Don’t check your mailbox!
