Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Jeff Scott]

Around here, we over-65 oldsters can opt out if we want.

Over 65, so being 65 doesn't qualify?

Perhaps too many nap during the trial.

I would.

I think you have too much time on your hands. Wow...another great song title and lyric! I'm on a roll!

Naw, that’s not a title that Styx in your mind.

I would.

As a musician, it’s important to have a sense of time.

Having served on several juries with many of my fellow common citizens, I weep for the precepts of "justice", i.e. innocent until proven guilty; what constitutes admissible evidence; the actual duty of a jury; etc. I've heard more ludicrous statements made in jury rooms than the jokes submitted here about how to get out of jury duty, except that they were not said in jest! No wonder there are so many advertising plaintiff's attorneys! Seems the most charming, persuasive attorney actually does get thru to today's reality-tv-audience of a jury, no matter the judge's legal instructions nor the opposing counsel's impeccable logic!

Kids today! I tell ya they're taking the world to hell in a handbasket! I wish they'd just GET OFF MY LAWN! And ... and ... uh, ... oh, crimeny ... nevermind!

I would be the sort desired on a jury (until I say newspaper). Fiction is reading the daily police logs, I find.

I don’t have a lot of faith in the jury system. People are incredibly biased, so are the judges.

 

[StereoPlayer]

I wish I had had the sound off when I watched that.

Mine was off…

The wife wanted to go see Washington Heights. I resisted but went anyways for her. I gotta say it was well made. It was good.

I’m not a fan of people just breaking out in song and dance in a movie.

Well, they are your peers so...

 

[StereoPlayer]

I didn’t mind jury duty. Last time I got paid time off from work and got “paid” for the jury duty.
In retirement, I wouldn’t mind it again…you can’t volunteer for it.

 

[SoulReflection]

Well, they are your peers so...

Not my peers...I like to pick my own!

"I think we're all Bozos on this bus."

I'm not even on this bus !

 

[Black Out Jazz]

"I think we're all Bozos on this bus."

I'm not even on this bus !

You missed the bus?

 

[SoulReflection]

You missed the bus?

Just the one with the Bozos on it .

 

[GwenOnBass]

I don't know why you people seem to think this is magic, it's just this little chromium switch here (click).

You people are SO superstitious...

 

[beans-on-toast]

Just the one with the Bozos on it .

On their way to the courthouse to serve on a jury.

 

[shadowtippy]

Well, they are your peers so...

And then there was a doc that got convicted by a jury of his piers.

 

[Black Out Jazz]

I was just quoted nine hundred dollars to replace the ugly block inlays with black. Nine. Hundred. Dollars. I said, "Thanks, guess I will just buy a brand new Warmoth neck for 600."

Was he even serious???

 

[SoulReflection]

And then there was a doc that got convicted by a jury of his piers.

Well, there are piers and then there are peers. Maybe that's the difference...

 

[beans-on-toast]

We’re all on the bus trying to make our way home.
