          Task 11. Read and enjoy. We, the Jury
                                           *
                A judge asked our group of potential jurors whether anyone should
          be excused, and one man raised his hand.
                “I can’t hear out of my left ear,” the man told the judge.
                “Can  you  hear  out  of  your  right  ear?”  the  judge  asked.  The  man

          why he wished to be excused from the jury duty.
                “Your Honor, my small grocery store is the sole means of support
          for my wife and eight children. To serve as a juror would mean closing the
          store, and I can’t afford that.”
               “Mr. Jones, what if everyone were like you?” asked the judge.
                “Your Honor,”  my  father replied, “if  everyone  were  like  me,  you
          wouldn’t be needing a jury.”
