Ho ho ho

A couple of weeks ago I was called for jury service for the first time ever. Ooh exciting, I thought. Until I saw that the date coincided with the last two weeks of my contract at work. Hmmmm, perhaps not then. So I asked for a deferral. Got home today, opened the brown envelope that was on the mat. My new date for jury service? Monday 24 April 2006. Shall I book the crane to get me out of the seat at the end of the day now?!

Someone's got a sense of humour.....

I'll send Giovanni round and the jury won't be needed. The defendant will plead guilty - to anything!

How do you know the defendant will be male?
