'Wapner': (to prospective juror me) What hobbies do you have?
Me: Well uh, you know golfing, marathon running, ... (then instead of
saying well I track my car a couple times a year and enjoy fixing it the
rest, I simply add:) race car driving.
'Wapner': Race car driving?
Me: Well uh yeah. But I'm actually pretty bad at it.
'Wapner': What kind of car do you race?
Me: Well uh an Audi.
(Entirely packed, levity starved courtroom has a good chuckle here.)
'Wapner': An Audi huh? You race this car?
Me: oh, uh not on the street! . ONLY timed events on the track.
'Wapner': I see. Do you trailer it to the track?
Me: It's okay judge, my wife thinks me crazy too. No, I just drive it.
'Wapner': What kind of Audi is this?
Me: Well actually it's an old Audi station wagon.
Whole courtroom is outright laughing now.
Two hours later, I'm booted from the jury pool. Not quite 'right' I
suppose;)
