Jury Duty

I was selected for jury duty this Monday and Tuesday. They sent 27 of us up to one court where a guy was being charged with OWI. The judge asked all the jurors if they themselves or if someone in their family had been involved in an OWI incident. I raised my hand and the judge asked me to stand up. "Can you tell me more on what happened?"

"Sir, I was drunk and flipped my truck over in 2001."

"Do you consider that you have a drinking problem?"

"Yes Sir, I'm a recovering alcoholic."

"For how long?"

As I look at my watch, "Oh, about ten hours."

"Juror #25, you're dismissed."
