His Disability.

The lawyer was examining him concerning his qualifications as a juror. “Have you ever served on a jury?” he asked. “No, sir,” answered the man. “I’ve been drawn a good many times, but I was always too smart to get caught on a Jury.” “What’s that, sir?” interrupted the judge, sternly. “Do you boast of your smartness in escaping jury duty?” “No, your honor,” said the man. “Not at all. When I said I was too smart I meant that I was always excused because the lawyers thought I wasn’t ignorant enough.”—Chicago Tribune.
