Wow. I was called for jury duty last month. I got the dates mixed up, and realized on Sunday that I was supposed to report the previous Friday. I immediately called and left a message asking what my options were. They called me back and said that, in fact, that session had been cancelled, and I was off the hook.
I thought "great", and went on with life, never realizing how serious things could have been. I was dreading the inconvenience, but looking forwad to the experience. Will definitely be more careful with the dates if I ever get called again.

Glad the arrest warrant isn't immediate - I figure this must happen a lot.
