Ah, jury selection! It ends up not so much a group “of peers” but rather a group of people with either a ton of time on their hands (i.e. retired/underemployed) or unable to articulate a sufficient excuse (or both). Your experience sounds similar to mine. It doesn’t exactly build confidence in our legal system does it?
This alone: "It’s near impossible to run 100 miles without training, sir." But also, all the rest of it—I laughed out loud multiple times, and while your experience inspires absolutely zero confidence in our legal system, it sure was fun to read about. Two follow-ups: 1. Have you seen Jury Duty? and 2. I hope to never ever ever have a reason to be tried by a jury of my peers ever.

Not one bit!
Having served on a jury, I absolutely never want my date to be decided by a jury in any instance ever! 😂
