Jury Duty - Tuesday, January 24th, 2012
I might have jury duty tomorrow. Did you know that while pens, pencils, plastic utensils, and jewelry are allowed in the assembly room, knitting needles and crochet hooks are not? I’m not exactly sure how knitting needles are more lethal than a pencil (unless they’re spy knitting needles that are actually hypodermics (and how cool would that be?!)). I’m considering taking yarn and knitting on pencils just to be obnoxious. OK, not really. I’d probably get arrested. (“What are you in for?” “Knitting.”)
Also, the “quiet room” is currently closed. That means the only place to wait is in the general assembly room, where they will show movies.

Chopsticks? I bet you could knit with chopsticks.

What these people who make the rules don’t grok is that some of us are more dangerous without our knitting than with — I mean, if I have to listen to some tool prattle on, at least if I have my knitting I have something else to concentrate on and maybe I won’t pick up a chair to knock them unconscious with.
