I’m most effective speaker when I’m trash talking while playing sports – very good doing it to 1 person, 2, 3, or all participants. while people warm-up before playing, I rescind in my head the good lines I’ll be dishing out.
I agree with Cgar and biff-and I have had fights with my family over this Israeli issue. But the reality is both Israelis and Palestinians are there to stay and if they have any smarts left, they will come up with a solution that gives both sides what they need. And as for the settlements- Israel needs to stop being so stupid.
One of my golden rules for speaking: three minutes per PP slide. If you have 30 minutes to speak: 10 slides, AT MOST. If you have more than that, you can be assured that your audience’s eyes will be glazing over.
When I was in R&D, we always used to joke about guys who would prepare slides crammed to the gills with graphs, equations, text, etc. Inevitably they would start off their talk with: “Now this slide may look a little comlicated, but let me explain….”
The msot annoying slides are ones with too many colors such that from within an audeince you can’t actually distinguish what’s on them.

“I am not an agnostic. Like *Dharma*Rob* I am looking for enlightenment.â€
I was a Buddhist (sorta) for a while, I liked being one. But then I lost it because focusing on the present started to seem like a cop-out.
“Man does not live on bread alone.”
I Wonder if this is not sometimes the case.

That’s a rye observation.

“I’m not a hooker/prostitute. I’m just slutty.”
In that case, can I have my money back?

DCB, you should be ready to pay child support. TextperV will claim that’s your child.
I think all presentations should be spiced up by the incorporation of a round or two of Twister.
