but different mothers. You keep together,like a family should, roaming DU for the common good. It came to pass, one fateful day, you found yourselves down GD way...


Either that, or the jury is just an awesome band of semi-misfit unemployed samurai.

Maybe at least give us an armed guide or something as we weave our way into the vast DU wilderness!

I don't care if that's not how it works. Now every time I serve on 7 DU juries I'll have a shot at retiring someday! Woot!

Don't laugh, it's my best hope of ever getting out of the workforce and I'm going to pretend it's real.

If I can't get a shot at a million dollar lottery, I'd settle for my casserole dish being scoured out.

Well played, struggle4progress! Well played!

Then on the seventh time you get a free large fountain drink or a 2 liter soda for take-out.

I'm not saying the place drives me to drink or anything...it's just politics tend to require something a tad stronger than pop to get through the day. At least in my experience. A couple of things campaign workers all have in common is a taste for alcoholic beverages and a massive collection of T-shirts.
