If you've ever successfully gotten out of reporting for jury duty, congratulations: You've done something that a former U.S. president couldn't.
George W. Bush reported for jury duty at George Allen courthouse in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday, causing quite a stir among the other jurors.
A fellow juror, Sheri Coleman, told The Dallas Morning News that No. 43 was "very personable, very friendly, just ‘hey I’m here to serve.'"
Bush took photos with several jurors, some of whom uploaded the pictures to Twitter.
