> Here in Canada in my long life here the closest I’ve ever come is getting an official form with a few questions I had to answer (one of which was a formalized version of basically “are you insane?”) which I sent back as required.

[When I filled out a jury questionnaire](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/canadian-law-trading-in-lumbering-equipment-without-consent-of-owner/732915), it had a long list of criminal convictions that did not impair your ability to serve on a jury, including:

- being nude in a public place
- being found in a bawdy house
- engaging in a prize fight
- failing to keep watch while towing person on water skis/surfboard
- trading in lumbering equipment without consent of owner

That was by far the most interesting part of the questionnaire.
