Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) reads a General Motors internal document at the Senate Commerce and Transportation Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance subcommittee, which she chairs, in Washington April 2, 2014.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) was called for jury duty in her home state Monday.

So she did what many tech-savvy Americans with a sense of humor would: live-tweet her experience.

And the 62-year-old McCaskill sent out some rich material, if courtroom humor is your thing.

Here are McCaskill’s tweets from her Monday morning appearance:

Yep. Just reported for jury duty.On my bucket list to serve. Betting lawyers boot me…use peremptory challenge. pic.twitter.com/lebEiTiF9Y

Hiding in corner as judge explains to large juror pool that we get paid only $10 a day. That’s #moleg not DC folks.

By rough calculation I count 2 knitters, with rest of the about 150 potential jurors divided equally between reading paper & reading screens

Drumroll. Another 60 being called for another courtroom. Hoping I get picked. #feelslikejrhigh

One knitter gone. But not me. Question for Twitter: are they skipping me on purpose?

— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) January 25, 2016

Possible. Definitely possible. https://t.co/pQyIa01KA0
