Man would rather count the wrinkles on his dogs balls than serve on jury duty

There are probably better ways to avoid jury duty than the approach recently taken by a Montana man.

The document, of course, did not sit well with court officials and led a judge to threaten to jail Slye. But after being summoned to court, Slye apologized for the affidavit and avoided being cited on a criminal failure to appear rap. And he also was excused from serving on a jury.
