A judge in a semi-small city was hearing a drunk-driving case and the defendant, who had both a record and a reputation for driving under the influence, demanded a jury trial. It was nearly 4 p.m. and getting a jury would take time, so the judge called a recess and went out in the hall looking to impanel anyone available for jury duty. He found a dozen lawyers in the main lobby and told them that they would act as a jury. The lawyers thought to themselves that this would be a novel experience and so they followed the judge back to the courtroom. The trial was over in about 10 minutes and it was very clear that the defendant was guilty.
The jury, made up of lawyers, went into the jury-room, the judge started getting ready to go home, and everyone waited. After nearly three hours, the judge was totally out of patience and sent the bailiff into the jury-room to see what was holding up the verdict. When the bailiff returned, the judge said, "Well have they got a verdict yet?" The bailiff shook his head and said, "Verdict? Hell, they're still doing nominating speeches for the foreman's position!"

That's a beauty, MPD, thanks for the chuckle! I'd love to be picked for jury duty just one time in my life to be on the other side of the process. mikeinthehills, it's likely on your bookshelf, but if not, you really must get a copy of the Tao of Pooh.
