Comment:

I recently was called for jury duty and went to a jury excusal hearing. I arrived early and decided to have a quick smoke prior to going inside. While I was smoking an attractive girl sat down and smiled at me, and of course I said, "Hey how are ya?" (I live in Oklahoma - everybody is friendly here). She replied "Great, couldn't be better, I know the Lord is coming back soon so I'm doing fantastic", and at first I was surprised with the abruptness of her comment, but with my sense of humor I couldn't resist so I said "So I guess that means I don't need to quit smoking then, huh?"

She then proceeded to give me a very interesting account of the impending rapture, which led to a philosophical conversation about religion for about ten minutes (I damn near grew up in a church), and she gave saving my soul a heck of a try. I let her give it a shot. I've been in sales for seven years so I wanted to hear her sales pitch, and of course I didn't let on any of my past (piss on her for assuming she knows what religious beliefs I hold). She didn't get to convert my heathen soul that day and I didn't get out of jury duty. However I am dedicating this mix to her, well. and to God of course.

Good mix, good cover, good story! . . . (& by the way, one almost sure fire way to get out of jury duty is to tell the judge you'll be ignoring his instructions since you've got a direct line to God . . .)

He's never early, He's always late. First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait.
