I've been called for jury duty several times.

The first couple of times the case was settled before we got to voir dire.

I did serve on a traffic case once. (Guy had a fool for a lawyer - himself. Was doing OK until he got caught in a lie, and then during closing arguments HE mentioned cops had been out to his home 5 times for domestic abuse.)

Once I was excused from a personal injury case because one of the lawyers didn't like the way I answered the questions.

The last time, it was a speeding case in my town, and the prosecutor asked what I thought of the speed limit on a street I drove every day; I told him it was unreasonably low, probably for revenue enhancement purposes. (Laughter from the jury pool.) Instead of dropping it right there, he asked if I knew that the legislature had DEFINED AS REASONABLE all posted limits; I laughed at him, and told him that if someone thought they needed a LAW to define whether or not something was reasonable, that was darned good evidence that they KNEW it was UNreasonable, and were trying to hide it. (More laughter from the jury pool - and even the judge cracked a smile.)

I didn't get picked.
