As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the
jury-selection process. First, a computer randomly selects a few hundred
citizens from the entire district to report for jury duty on a particular day.
Then another computer assigns 40 of those present to a courtroom. Then the 40
names are placed in a drum, and a dozen names are pulled out.
During jury selection for one
trial, the judge asked a potential Juror No. 12 if there was any reason why he
could not be a fair and impartial juror.
"There may be," he
replied. "Juror No.1 is my ex-wife, and if we are on the same jury, I
guarantee you that we would not be able to agree on anything."
Both were excused!
If it's true that we are here
to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
Delta Airlines recently
introduced a special half-fare rate for wives accompanying their husbands on
business trips.
Anticipating
some valuable testimonials, the publicity department of the airline sent out
letters to all the wives of businessmen who used the special rates, asking how
they enjoyed their trip.
Responses are still pouring in asking, "What trip?"
You never really learn to swear
until you learn to drive!
A woman phoned her dentist when
she received a huge bill.
"I'm shocked!" she complained.
"This is three times the amount that you normally
charge."
"Yes, I know," said the dentist.
"But you screamed so
loudly, you scared away two other patients!"
No one ever says, 'It's only a
game,' when their team is winning!"
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one
day.
"In English," he
said, "a double negative form a positive.
In some languages, though, such
as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.
However, there is no language
wherein a double positive can form a negative."
Then a voice from the back of
the room piped up: "Yeah, right!"
It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of
a busy intersection.
Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed
to help him.
When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from
the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a
course in first aid."
The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse
and prepared to administer artificial respiration.
At this point, she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here!"
