Gee, you mean American jurors serve on T-R-I-A-L-S?! I, umm, thought jury
duty meant sitting aboard your covered wagon with a loaded rifle and blazing
away at any uncharitable indians who come galloping down the T-R-A-I-L.
(Which is obviously why I launched into a complicated aside about Swiss

incapability of distinguishing between trails and trials, and is wondering
