Jury Duty - 9:55 AM - Courthouse Singles

The people in the room are very diverse, comprised of all ages and backgrounds. The makeup of the selectees seems skewed toward women when I glance across the room, but actually I think it's about 50/50 men/women when I consider it more carefully. My perception is more likely a result of working in an industry that is 95% men. It's not often I'm in a mixed crowd.

Because of the wide range of people, it occured to me that jury duty could be a good place to hold speed dating. I bet they'd get a lot more willing participants if they had something like a Courthouse Singles function as a side benefit of showing up. I can imagine the pitch, "Join Courthouse Singles today! Sure, there may be a 10% chance of serving on a jury, but there's a 20% chance of hooking up with a hot, fellow juror!" OK, 20% is a tad optimistic...
