Jury Duty : Funniest Joke of the Day
August 21st 2007 · Posted by Bobby Griffin · Comments
A man was chosen for jury duty who really wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial, he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin, he asked if he could approach the bench.
“Your Honor,” he said, “I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said ‘He’s a crook! He’s guilty!’ So, your Honor, I cannot possibly stay on this jury!”
With a tired annoyance the judge replied, “Get back in the jury box, you fool. That man is the defendant’s lawyer.”

I think the “I can tell he’s guilty” jury duty excuse is an old classic George Carlin joke. Nice to see a modern anti-lawyer spin on it. Thanks to Lawyer Laughter for another funny one!
