Cute, but of course if the defendant and the potential jury member were honest, the potential jury member would have to be dismissed from consideration.
This is sadly all too true. My first job was pumping gas, and one of our charge account customers was a bakery. The owner was a sweet little Italian guy who would hop out and start the pump if you were busy, always friendly and would give you loaves of fresh bread. His kid would come in and sit in the car and not acknowledge you and treat you like something that was stuck on his shoe. The difference between EARNING money and having it GIVEN to you. Funny, after the old man died, the company went out of business…

That’s not quite the way I heard the story in Sunday School, but Ruthie and Grandpa are right!

Be nice to the people you meet on the way up, because you may run into the same people on the way down!

You never know when you might need medical help, or roadside car assistance. You should treat everyone well.
