Kim regularly puts student work on display in the hallway next to her room. There is currently a group of posters up about the duties of a citizen. They talk about voting and jury duty and such. One of the posters is really funny to me because the kid meant one thing, but I read something completely different. The poster is right in front of the water fountain. I laugh every time I take a drink.
So… what did the kid mean?
I think the kid meant that if you’re not a good citizen and you want to be, you should serve on a jury. Instead, the poster sounds like juries are full of bad citizens. Considering my own weird jury experiences, I had to laugh.
YES! There are sure some weirdos on juries! A friend of mine is now on the Grand Jury for Washington, DC. He has to go 3 days a week for 6 weeks. Much of the time, he sits in a room waiting for cases. And there’s no Internet. He said that DC has particular troubles finding good citizens for juries. Either they’re convicted felons… or they’re not citizens!
That kid is my kinda artist. Props for the gavel!
I am intrigued by the three dots in each top corner. Is that some sort of sticky-tac stuff showing through?
Hehe…I wonder if we should send this into Jay Leno.
Monday headlines – good idea, Peggy! Leno would roar, too, I think.
I’d rather be the judge. Order in the court!
