In my 50 years of living in OK, I've only ever been called up 2 times, about 2 or 3 years apart. That was back in the late 70's and maybe in 1980 the second time, but not ever again. I was questioned for one jury, but excused for an unexplained reason. Right now, I'm passed that magic 7..0 mark. My husband was only ever called up twice while we were married and he served on juries both times. The second time, he had to turn his "pay" over to Uncle Sam because he was a Civil Service employee and "can't be paid by 2 government entities." He was considered a double dipper when he went to draw his Social Security, although he had earned all his 40 quarters of eligibility after his Army service and before he became a Civil Servant.
