Jury Duty. What are the odds...

...that my son and I would be summoned for the same day, at the same courthouse, in Los Angeles County?

It's his first time and, I think, my eighth. I usually get downtown and my wife usually gets the tour: Santa Monica, LAX, Inglewood, Torrance, and downtown. My son and I both got Torrance.

It would be interesting if we both got on the same jury panel.

Edit to add: My wife's a redhead; she doesn't play well with others.

Wife and I got it a week apart this year..... Yoiu and your son share the same last name? I'm betting that would actually increase the odds...

What? Us readheads can...but only if we want to do so.

I enjoyed doing my civic duty...I was actually the foreman. Forewoman? Whatever...anyway it was a great experience. We found the POS guilty too.

Still, there's about 8 to 10 courthouses in our area. I usually get downtown L.A. and Compton. Compton's interesting when you drive a Blue '82 Chevy Camaro.
