My first time on jury duty we had an old grumpy RETIRED man that kept cussing when asked questions. He did a bunch of other grumpy stuff that I don't have time to explain, but he was a real asshole. The judge warned him if he used "those words" again he would be held in contempt. He was not selected and once he was gone the judge commented that that was the closes he had come to holding a juror in contempt. It was better than dinning theater.
