You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

"So I told my dad what I have been doing, for the last dozen years, when I get a jury summons: I pitch it in the wastebasket. No hesitation, no guilt, just pitch it. My dad’s ears perked up at that, and he thought, “hmmmm.” After talking about it a few times, I kinda eased any concerns he had about that, because quite frankly, if the court ever approaches me with this issue, I’ll just say “What jury summons?” Without registered mail, they just can’t proved that I ever received one. And that’s that. They won’t have the time nor resources to pursue it any further."
