Me: "Sorry, your Honour, but I can't be on this jury, I'm biased." Judge: "But you haven't met the accused, yet?" Me: "I think everyone is guilty of something, like how I'm guilty of being biased." Judge: "I'm removing you from service simply because you frustrate me." Me: "Sweet. Can I get my parking validated? I don't drive, I just hear that a lot on TV." Judge: "Get out of my court..."

I got excused from jury duty because it was an auto accident case where the plaintiff was hurt and was suing the defendant for additional damages. I was excused because I have osteoarthritis in my hands and knees. Yay, joint pain!
