I failed to attend jury duty.
Help me come up with a 'reasonable excuse' to tell the judge

I'll start with the truth:
I was contemplating and had a epiphany and I was off in another world and I ended up wondering around the streets at night till 5am thinking of all the implications then slept in and missed it.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 07:48 PM

I had the mother of all toothache and my dental surgeon said I needed complete bed rest.

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:20 PM

Jury duty is against my religion. I'm agnostic.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:29 PM

My mother-in-law is dead. I need to bury her for a couple of weeks.

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:32 PM

I automatically think everyone is guilty of every crime in the world.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:39 PM

I just discovered that I'm related to the accused, who is my first cousin thrice removed.

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:41 PM

I don't consider anyone to be my peer so I can't be on a jury of my peers.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:42 PM

One of the other jury is having an affair with my wife and I can't have that!

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:46 PM

I want to be judge, jury and executioner, so I can't only be on the jury.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:50 PM

I prefer to be the judge. May I please, please be the judge? Pretty please?

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:53 PM

I don't like rooms, so I can't be in a jury room.

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:55 PM

I'm anti-social. I'm an introvert. I don't like the other members of the jury. If I can't be the sole jury, I won't!

**jkatra** · 02-03-2012, 11:57 PM

I think crime is OK. Why should we put people on trial?

**venuspop** · 02-03-2012, 11:58 PM

The accused looked cute. I might be biased.

**jkatra** · 02-04-2012, 12:01 AM

I think we should kill all the lawyers, so I really shouldn't be in a courtroom.

**venuspop** · 02-04-2012, 12:02 AM

I had a dream last night. A man in shadows told me I can't report for jury duty today. Something to do with bad luck.

**jkatra** · 02-04-2012, 12:04 AM

I don't think "the law" really exists.

**venuspop** · 02-04-2012, 12:07 AM

Just as I was about to leave my apartment for jury duty today, a black cat crossed my path. It frightened me back into my room.

**jkatra** · 02-04-2012, 12:17 AM

I can't pay attention to anything.

**venuspop** · 02-04-2012, 12:20 AM

I hurt my wee little finger so I need to be hospitalized.

**IronSulfide** · 02-04-2012, 05:45 AM

I was passing a kidney stone.

**jkatra** · 02-04-2012, 09:10 AM

I need to get allergy shots (this is a real excuse I made to avoid jury duty).

**venuspop** · 02-05-2012, 03:04 AM

I overslept.

**jkatra** · 02-05-2012, 09:23 AM

I like committing crimes in courtrooms.

My pet Giant Weta died this morning…
