So my Dad forwarded me a very interesting letter in the mail. Occasionally I get mail addressed to me at my old 'Permanent Address' - i.e. my parent's house. Well, my Dad does the nice thing and forwards me anything that comes their way. This letter, however, was definitely out of the ordinary.
It was a summons for Jury Duty. From California. For next week.
I haven't lived in California for 6 years, and I haven't had a drivers license in the state for at least 3. Heck, I haven't even voted in my old county for that long. What's even weirder is that the letter was addressed to my parent's new address, at which I've never lived or registered on any tax form or voter registration card.
I sent back a little response card attached to the bottom of the summons. I checked the box for an excuse that says "No longer lives in Santa Clara County. Now lives in... Cook County, in the state of Illinois.
Dude, if they made me go all the way back to California for anything like this, the fucker would be guilty and prime for the chair... in my unbiased opinion. ;-P
