PS
My sweet DH, who is so gentle he wouldn't hurt a fly, went and hung around for over 8 hours waiting as they went through the jury selection only to be told he wasn't going to be needed. TG, he listened to me and brought a book to read. However, if you can believe this, when it came time for lunch, (you know me, I want to make sure there is a meal in there somewhere), they came around and asked if anyone wanted lunch---but it cost! And my poor DH only had enough money for the bus fare home so he went all day with no food. So, I guess, another caveat: bring something to eat with you.
Here I always thought they fed you and good too. That goes to show you not to believe everything you watch on tv.
