Man, I love living in Canada. Elf, you sound like you live in Glasgow from where I live.

No but seriously you're a scumbag if you try to get out of jury duty on purpose.
Just check the box that says you're not a citizen of the US.
Shoot yourself in the foot?
>get called for JD >wait ten odd hours, going through the process of being selected for the jury >not get picked in the end >point and laugh at my brother who had to wait the same ten-ish hours for my sorry ass to get rejected I've had worse days.
Be like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and get kicked out because they're afraid you'll contaminate the jury by being too intelligent.
Completed the Questionaire, now I gotta wait until the 23rd to report to the County/District Court House. If I get picked, it should be an interesting experience at least.
