Jury Duty Crochetiers??

[PBLKNP]

About 5 years ago maybe 4 years I had jury duty and they took away my yarn and crochet hook. Then after a few hours of sitting in a large crowded room I noticed a woman knitting with 2 long pointy sharp looking knitting needles. I went back to the desk and complained and they let me crochet. I tink knitting needles could do more damage than a crochet hook.

 

Not to mention the pens and pencils they let you bring in there in your purse...

I guess anything could be used as a weapon if a person was of a mind to use it that way, although I'm hard pressed to think of what kind of grievous bodily harm could be done with nail clippers. Maybe give somebody a couple of good nicks or something, although that would be a bit like getting pecked to death by ducks. "Hey, you two! Mind yourselves 'afore I come over there'n give you both a good Dutch rub!" or... "Watch out for him! He's got a broken milk carton!"

 

nail clippers, like getting pecked to death by ducks. And with a plastic crochet hook we could crochet a chain noose for him if we think he'll get off too easy. You know that kitchen cotton yarn is pretty strong lol

In deliberations we can practice how to lasso. LOL

Several years ago, I was pregnant while on jury duty and I got 2 baby blankets made!

Last time I got called I didn't have to go. However, I DID check to see if I could bring my crocheting - and the answer was a big N.O. They consider it a weapon.

 

Dang.

Since the crochet hook is officially looked upon as a weapon, perhaps we will start seeing some martial arts movies featuring them. Can you picture the titles?

Okay, there should be a warning that you need to put your Depends on before reading!

When I was on jury duty the only hooks allowed in the court house were plastic. I tried to take my metal hook in and they made me take to my car. I spent a whole with outdated magazines.

[flyinghigh]

Hahahahhahahaha oh my goodness... the yarn movies.. amazing. Love it. When I become a big famous movie director, I should TOTALLY make some of those films. Haha.

 

I've never been called to jury duty, but we'll see. I can't believe that won't let you take in hooks. I suppose I understand the scissors, but still. I guess if you had like, E hook and stabbed hard enough you might dent the skin, but really?

HYSTERICAL !!!!!!!!

 

They will make you an afghan you can't refuse.

[happy stitcher]

I had thought about taking my hook and yarn, but I was working on squares and thought that even if they did let me in with my hook I'd never get in with scissors.

 

You can bring one of those round yarn cutters. They're a bit pricey - about $8, but they're great for things like jury duty and flying. They pass security just fine. JoAnn's usually has coupons for regular priced items, and that helps with the cost.

I have done both local jury duty and just recently federal court jury duty. Both times I took my bag of projects but I included a book that I was reading. I couldn't crochet in the court room while we were waiting but I sure could read. We sat on the back row while we waited. No one questioned by bag.
