I have often wondered why fortune-tellers and clairvoyants never seem to win the football pools or the lottery. What use then are these facilities, I ask myself?
One answer might be that they could let you off jury duty.
Such was the case last week at Livingston Sheriff’s Court when a television mindreading celebrity turned up for jury duty. The clerk of the court recognised him as ‘the human lie detector’ on a television chat show, decided that it would not be appropriate to use him and sent him home.
Well, it’s one way of getting out of jury service!
