True Story:  Jury

As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the jury-selection 
process.  First a computer randomly selects a few hundred 
citizens from the entire county to report for jury duty on a 
particular day.  Then another computer assigns 40 of those 
present to a courtroom.  Then the 40 names are placed in a 
drum, and a dozen names are pulled.  

During jury selection for one trial, the judge asked potential 
Juror No. 1 if there was any reason he could not be a fair and 
impartial juror. 

"There may be," he replied.  "Juror No. 12 is my ex-wife, and 
if we were on the same jury, I guarantee we would not be able 
to agree on anything."

Both were excused.
