Just want to point out a legal distinction here. Reason not to serve would be as many suggested and the judges and attorneys may dismiss you during jury selection. Depending upon the court, I read a couple that a call to the court clerk may get a release from appearing such as out of town on a trip or a severe medical issue.
The term "exempt" from jury duty is typically based on not meeting the qualifications in state statute. When exempt they shouldn't even be calling you in or if you do get a notice, then a call to the clerk may do it. Here are the statutory qualifications in Kansas:
A citizen of the United States
Resident of the county summoned (for at least 20 days)
At least 18 years of age
Have not been adjudged incompetent by a court.
Must be able to read, write and comprehend the English language.
Cannot have been convicted of a felony within the last 10 years.
Don't know about LA, George, but age is not a reason here. Retired people are usually the ones that can serve on a long trial. Out juror roles come from DL, property tax, and other records. Clerks don't do background checks so if someone has one of these then they may excuse you except for the language one.
Had a friend that was a WWII fighter pilot. He was afraid to speak up when asked about medical conditions. Usually here if you raise your hand when everyone is asked and they get to you, you can say you don't want to talk about it in open court, we would go back in chambers to find out. Anyway he was incontinent and ended up on the jury. You can guess how that went. He was totally embarrassed and since they chairs had cushions they ended up unbolting the chair from the floor. Case ended up in a mistrial.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
