Well if you do get called maybe it'll be a juicy trial with lots of racy testimony. Of course you could always go to law school like I did, nobody ever wants a lawyer on a jury, ever! And then you could always do what a guy did back when I was picking a jury, wear a Viking helmet and when called stand up and shout "Kill, Kill, Kill!!!!"...and then be arrested on contempt charges.

I was on a jury once when I lived in Oakland and not only was our chairperson a lawyer, but she was also the Dean of Students of UC Berkeley's (my alma mater) law school.

So they sometimes take lawyers!

Knock on wood, the last 2 years in a row I have been called to report for jury duty, and luckily enough the case's both ended up not going to trial so didn't have to do it.

I know how to get kicked off even when I make it to the questioning. CHAT them up. I use every opportunity to talk, and make myself look like a high maintenance juror. The last 2 times I did this, I was the first one who got excused. Of course, if the trial looks interesting and the timeline worked for me, I always do shut up and serve my time.

Now that's a good one !!!!

Give contradictory answers when questioned by the lawyers- They excused from serving because they felt I was an "enigma". More recent notice, I had to check online daily whether I had to report in the next morning.
