> With so many illegal aliens here in California, (they can't serve on jury
duty, but they take up space and time, don't get me started) I get a jury
summons at least once a year. If I get selected, I am normally excused by
the defense lawyer for one reason or the other. However yesterday, no such
luck.

names, jobs, and if we knew any police officers.

> I stated my name, Tom Gummo, that I was a retired Air Force Pilot and was
currently teaching Chemistry at the local college. I then said that I knew
several police officers as they helped me build my plane (KABONG is one). I
throw in the military officer as it seems that defense lawyers don't like
that in the jury pool.

my last name. I told him that it was the name of the fifth Marx brother (if
you are young - look them up on the Internet).

Wild Weasels.

> 3. The judge then asked why I built my own plane. Of course, the
great characteristics of the RV series were explained.

> 4. The D.A. then stated that most pilots had a call-sign and
wanted to know mine. "GummiBear" was my reply - with a body style (less
than thin) and a last name of Gummo - the call-sign was a natural and
remained with me for the whole twenty years.

(1990-1991)

#4, has the last name of a Marx brother, built and flies a Harmon Rocket,
was called "GummiBear", and flew in the Gulf War.

Gummi-
Why are you worried about Jury Duty ?? It appears to be a "no brainer" for
people from California.
