court trouble, part II

ACT I
Government: You have to give us eight weeks of jury duty. But as compensation we'll give you $25/day.
Jon: Fine, whatever.

ACT II
Jon: You said I was going to get like $300 but you cut me a check for $2.80. What gives?
Government: Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you we have an obscure subsection in this law that says you automatically waived your juror's fee and we just have to reimburse you for mileage. Here's a copy of the law. Share and enjoy!
Jon: What.
