On Jury Duty, but how can I get the plaintiff's number?

[MikeH]

I would sound like a ****ing dumbass if I talked like that.

You know you sound like a ****ing dumbass when you post here right?

[The Mad Monk]

Well, for starters, there's basically no way to contact her without either breaking the law or coming across as incredibly creepy.

How is this even an either - or statement?

[Lorizael]

I hate the way you all suggest I speak to women. I would sound like a ****ing dumbass if I talked like that.

Speer: I'm so bad at talking to females!!! What do I do?!?!

Apolyton: Follow our advice.

Speer: Your advice is stupid I'll just keep doing what I have been doing instead!!!

[The Mad Monk]

Just to be clear, I do not recommend trying to contact that girl. But hey, Columbus did something mad weird and stupid and look what he did.

Got the ball rolling on the death and / or enslavement of a continent full of innocent people?

How is this even an either - or statement?

Well, I don't know the law that well. It's possible that if he waits long enough after the trial he could avoid the legal repercussions and merely come across as incredibly creepy. As far as I know. But I should have made that an and/or at the very least, you're right.

Oh, and Al? There are absolutely no circumstances under which this woman would not be crazy to even give you the time of day. If she loses, you're to blame and she won't want you. If she wins, a romantic entanglement with you is pretty clear grounds for a mistrial, at least from where I'm standing. She'll probably flip out that you're even contacting her at all, unless she's got a mental age of three and her lawyer does everything for her.

Alternatively, you could stand up in court, address the Judge, and say, "I ask to be dismissed from this jury because the plaintiff is just too hot for me to remain impartial."

Given that his ability to remain impartial is oh-so-obviously-blown in this thread, it might even be the best course at this point.

1. Albie contacts Plaintiff
2. Plaintiff tells her lawyer
3. Plaintiff's lawyer tells judge
4. Judge dismisses Albie from jury and sends him to prison for a term that means he misses next Marines intake.

[-Jrabbit]

Win-win!

Only if they don't have interwebs in jail

While you ignored it when loin said it, and Cockney agreed, and then when I repeated it, I think I will repeat it again: THIS IS A BAD IDEA. What kind of FUBAR basis is this for the start of a relationship, anyway?

QFT. A thousand times QFT.

QUOTED FOR MEGA ****ING TRUTH

Oh what a bunch of sticks in the mud. I bet you guys think us lawyers can't **** our hot clients either. Is there no end to your judgment?



And PS: there is absolutely nothing illegal about what he proposes, assuming of course that it's after the case and not during. I don't know how anyone could think otherwise.

^this. A tried and true method.

He said he wasn't going to wait for the case to end.

[Darius871]

He said he wasn't going to wait for the case to end.

He seemed open to the possibility if it's the only way, but surely he'll abide by poly's sage advice not to.

[The Mad Monk]

When has he not, after all?

...

[MikeH]

Exactly.
