Woman Gets Out Of Jury Duty Because She’s Going To See Oprah

Who knew going to see Oprah would be an excuse to get you out of pretty much anything? For one Chicago woman, tickets to see Oprah meant that she could skip out on being a juror in one of the city’s most important trials. That’s right, the judge in the retrial of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich dismissed “Juror 137″ so she could go see Oprah live.
Oprah tickets can get you out of jury duty? Is it that serious? Apparently so, as even Blago said that he’s happy the woman finally gets a chance to live out a “once-in-a-lifetime” dream. We understand that the waiting list to see Oprah is like five years, but this is kind of ridiculous, don’t you think? Remember, kids, if you have some homework you don’t want to do, just tell your teachers and professors that you have Oprah tickets. And if you have bills to pay, just tell them you can’t because you have to see Oprah. That’ll work.
