THE PROBLEM WITH JURY DUTY

JUST AS SHE WAS CELEBRATING HER 80TH BIRTHDAY,

OUR FRIEND RECEIVED A JURY-DUTY NOTICE.

SHE CALLED THE CLERK’S OFFICE TO REMIND THEM

THAT SHE WAS EXEMPT BECAUSE OF HER AGE.

"YOU NEED TO COME IN AND FILL OUT THE EXEMPTION FORMS,"

THE CLERK SAID.

"BUT I FILLED THEM OUT LAST YEAR," SHE REPLIED.

"YOU HAVE TO FILL THEM OUT EVERY YEAR."

"WHY? DO YOU THINK I’M GETTING YOUNGER?"
