The Slice: She’s got an ace-high flush

Admit it. Some Slice questions make you scratch your head and wonder “Huh?”

But that doesn’t mean someone else won’t have an answer for me.

“Paul, I have the loudest toilets in town,” wrote Liz Gruber. “I installed two Kohler pressure-assisted toilets when I moved into my new house. I always warn first-timers in my bathroom that the toilet is not exploding, merely flushing.”

“OK, not everybody just jumped on the bandwagon: “I have been a loyal Seahawks fan since 1976, when my boyfriend, Michael, said that football was cool,” wrote Natalie Gibb. “I was 16 and clueless.”

She and Michael didn’t last, but Gibb never lost her thing for the Seahawks — “Even through the bad years, which were many.”

“The form of therapy Spokane needs: “Charm school.” — Connie Murray

“Slice answer (audience profiles and you): “My husband and I are baby boomers who thoroughly enjoy watching ‘Jeopardy’ most every night,” wrote Diane Gronning. “However, we get somewhat annoyed at the commercials for prescription drugs and adaptive equipment that are obviously aimed at really old people.”

Diane, I’m just glad you can’t hear what certain Gen X and Gen Y types are thinking at this moment.

“Surprises that came with jury duty: Gary Polser said he was somewhat surprised that his preconceived notions about lawyers were confirmed by the experience.

Mark Godbey wasn’t expecting the witness testimony to be so crushingly boring or his fellow jurors to be so clueless.

Sharon Piper was surprised by one fellow juror who seemed to believe that medical doctors were incapable of mistakes and by another juror who literally slept through much of the proceedings.

Craig Bierly was surprised by the lack of business owners in the pool of prospective jurors and by the fact that knowing anything seemed to disqualify you from being considered for a jury.

Marcia Tunik was caught off guard when the judge cut the trial short one day for “a family emergency.”

“The next day he told all in the courtroom that the emergency was his wife needed him to discuss travel plans with their agent,” she wrote.

And William Brock was among about 30 potential jurors for a DUI trial. One of the lawyers asked if any in the group had been affected by drunk driving. The guy sitting next to Brock volunteered that he had been drunk when he got into an accident while driving to his own wedding.

As the story continued, everyone learned that the scene of that blessed union had to be moved to the guy’s hospital room.

He did not wind up on that jury.
