As a potential juror in an assault-and-battery
case, I was sitting in a courtroom, answering
questions from both sides.
The prosecutor asked had I ever been mugged?
Did I know the victim or the defendant?
The defense attorney took a different approach.
"I see you are a teacher," he said. "What do
you teach?"
"English and Drama Theatre," I responded.
"Then I guess I better watch my grammar," the
defense attorney quipped.
"No" I shot back. "You better watch your
acting."
I was excused from the case.
