Just as she was celebrating her 80th birthday, our friend received a jury-duty notice. She called to remind the people at the clerk's office that she was exempt because of her age.
"You need to come in and fill out the exemption forms," she was told.
"I've already done that," she replied. "I did it last year."
"You have to do it every year," she was told by the very efficient court clerk.
"Why?" came the response from the senior citizen. "Do you think I'm suddenly going to get younger?"
