Jury Duty for Ex's

As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the jury-selection process.
First a computer randomly selects a few hundred citizens from the entire
county to report for jury duty on a particular day. Then another
computer assigns 40 of those present to a courtroom. Then the 40 names
are placed in a drum, and a dozen names are pulled. During jury
selection for one trial, the judge asked potential Juror No. 1 if there
was any reason he could not be a fair and impartial juror.

"There may be," he replied. "Juror No. 12 is my ex-wife, and if we
were on the same jury, I guarantee we would not be able to agree on
anything."

Both were excused.
