That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 05, 2019

The nursing home masher got a jury of his peers.

The jury, waiting for the trial to get to the juicy part.

The cattle call for the Statler and Waldorf audition.

Waiting for the Stripper to take it all off!!!

Hair club for men test group….

Must be a photo of congress. No one is paying attention.

The first “Apprentice”, hosted by Cornelius “Corny” Vanderbilt (center), didn’t really get the ratings.

A rare photo of the men who have played Ebeneezer Scrooge fro A Christmas Carol.

Is this the prequel or the sequel of “12 angry men.”

“Yeah they call it ‘football’ here. But it’s just soccer. Let’s head over to Louie’s for some dark ale.”

“The Dirty Dozen”, dozin’..

Considering it is owned by the Buckinghamshire County Museum—not exactly one of the most famous in the world—there are quite a few different images of it online. Just Google the words John Morgan jury in Google image search and they’ll pop right up. The fun part is that it appears to be a real jury! See the excellent article on the painting and the artist at www.coulborn.com/furniture-categories/notable-sales/morgan/. (I think my favorite juror is the deaf one.)

Blah blah blah, he’s guilty. Where is lunch?

Hey baldy. Fart one more time and your’re history.

“…Although he begged and pleaded,

The jury didn’t care.

They didn’t have a sofa,

So they offered him … The Chair!”

Of all the jury duties in Hollywood, we get the Roseanne case.

“Eh? What’s that you say?” “Borrrring!”

“This seems like an appropriate panel to decide women’s reproductive rights…”

They’ve been following the Grateful Dead since the late ’60’s, but still find the drum interlude a bit tedious. (disclaimer: I’m actually a fan.)

O.K., we launched the damn ship; they didn’t specify it had to float!

http://www.avictorian.com/Morgan_John_1823-1886.html 

all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. Many internet references to him have his life span incorrect as (1823-1886). That is what the 2nd artist info URL has as its title and the last in its filename; but, both texts correctly say he was born in 1822, and the last that he died in 1885. This is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2151 (March 4, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Juror front right rescheduling his lunch date.

“Our verdict is that the defendant is totally boring.”

Very atmospheric picture, I can almost hear the snoring, and the “Eh what? speak up sonny.”

Second from the left on the top row is tickled pink to have been selected. And he gets paid leave from his sewer cleaning job.

The criminal jury system’s “efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don’t know anything and can’t read.” Mark Twain

FDR’s vision of a “packed” Supreme Court, circa 1937.

this is the Atheist version of the last supper, no soup for you

This looks remarkably like the last faculty meeting I attended.

Okay, you next. Give me your best Carol Burnett imitation.
