I've been registered for years, and only called once.  Perhaps I used
to move around too often.

My case was a civil liability case; they didn't toss college grads out;
I distinctly recall there ware a pair of  Aggies on the jury.  Perhaps
it was the case (it was a big deal for the parties involved, but not
otherwise A Big Deal) or the venue (Rockwall County, Texas ain't the
big city).
