- Try that. You might find out just how poor a sense of humor the justice
- system has. Prospective jurors can be charged with contempt over little
- cutsy smart assed comments like this. (Apparently some people take this
- trial by jury business pretty seriously.)
-
- I am reminded of a college pal who thought he would get cute with the
- Border Patrol one night as he crossed over into El Paso from Juarez. When
- asked his citizenship, he replied: "U.S."
-
- Then as he stepped forward, he added: "S.R." My friend got to be detained
- over an hour and came close to getting a free body cavity search before he
- started bawling his eyes out and managed to talk them out of it.
-
- As a rule, no government agency has any sense of humor.
