Jury duty? Got a driver's license? You're on the list, if so.

I vote regularly, and in all my years I got called to jury duty just
twice, both times the case or cases were dismissed and so were the
potential jurors. Never saw the inside of the courtroom either time. A
wasted morning, and noon and afternoon off of work.  I probably wouldn't
get picked anyway, lawyers don't like smart jurors.
