Public Speaking

People often ask me how I got to be such a good public speaker.

I tell them you just have to be yourself, and then hope that yourself is a good public speaker.

By the way, the other day while speaking of sales projections to a large room packed with bored sales reps, in the middle of a particularly challenging explication of a five year sales trend chart, I paused for a moment, said "Before I forget, I'd like to congratulate Vice President Cheney for having a lesbian daughter," then I went back to my chart.

Where do I get this stuff? I dunno. You either have it or you don't, I guess.
