I'm so glad I don't have to do any jury duty.

  Why are you exempt?  Is it because you're a Moomin?  :moomin:

We don't have jury duty here. Or in Moomin land, for that matter.

  So are all cases settled by judges?  :toporly:

  You should become a lay judge.  You seem qualified.  Do it!  :asthing: :asthing: :asthing:

No way in hell.  :P

Funny, though. It just occurred to me that I probably know more about UK laws than Sweden's these days. A consequence of working for a UK legal publisher.

Now you're not only the Court Musician, but the Queen's Counsel.

I've only lived in two counties in Illinois, and being called for Jury Duty wasn't an occurrence in either of them.

  Your time will come.  It may be this year, it may be many years from now, but your time will come.  >:D

After 50 years of loyal faithful service you can have a peerage AND Lady Weeble.
