How To Avoid Public Speaking – Part Two

By Chris

33028288Speaking 2

Mumble  – a great fallback

Never nod your head

Obtain a restraining order – then no one will ever ask you again

Plead insanity – you’re mad if you don’t

Quote Shakespeare – ‘A horse, a horse. My kingdom for a horse’ – then giddy up out of there

Repeat this phrase – ‘You talking to me, you talking to me’ – works for Robert DiNiro

Surround yourself with some bouncers – let them do the talking

Take a shower – make it cold – so you can wake up to yourself and avoid the embarrassment of speaking in public

U don’t have to if u don’t want to

Vamoose before you are roped in

Wriggle you way out

X file the request – under M for Muldaur or S for Scully

You Tube your speech – blank screen without audio – works wonders

Z zzzzzzzz
