I was called "science guy" during mine, but made the jury anyway. During the first break -- despite instructions not to discuss the case -- the foreman was bitching about how women shouldn't be wearing pants and the defense attorney had some nerve, so I told the bailiff that shit was happening and they brought me in to testify on the witness stand and the case was halted, the jury dismissed, and a plea agreement reached.
