The Dizzy Sheep Daily Dizzy Deal
What is this dizzy deal thing?
Jury Duty

Well ain't that a pile of gravel...

Apparently I'm being summoned for Jury Duty. I wasn't aware they were interested in gargoyle jurors. All I can say is... woohoo!

Finally I get to decide the fate of some poor individual and it's legitimate, even upheld by the law. It's like my dream come true! You know, that dream where I'm gargoyle overlord of all the land and cupcakes start falling out of the sky? I'm sure I've mentioned it before...

This is great, I'm actually required to be excused from work and they'll even pay me!

I can just picture it now, jurors are the ones who sit in the front of the room with the robes and little hammer right? I, Grandmaster Overlord Gargoyle, find you guilty of being too fuzzy!! Hahahah!
