one good thing about colorectal cancer

You are right - UNLESS you get stuck on a capital murder jury panel in Texas when you are 6 months pregnant and smoking is allowed in the courthouse!

That was my most memorable jury duty experience (in 1981, but I still vividly remember it!) - I sat (all 6 months preg of me) on a hard bench in a dimly lit hallway where people smoked for almost 3 days waiting for my turn to be individually interviewed. My "interview" took well over an hour and was more like an interrogation than an interview. In the end, I wasn't accepted. But the cookie topper was that the evening of the day I was (finally) dismissed, the judge in the case went on Houston public TV to discuss the issue of capital punishment. At one point in the show, he said something like "For example, I have a case in my courtroom where I am seeking the death penalty......" Hello! He's the judge not the prosecutor. So the judge was removed from the case, the 4 previously selected jurors were excused and my 3 tortuous days were for naught.

OK - this has nothing to do with colorectal cancer, but my Texas jury experience was not the best!

Take care all,
Betsy
