Adam and Eve Joke
Existence was so tranquil and peaceful for the young couple Adam and Eve, like straight out of a story book, until one unfortunate day when Adam showed up one hour late for supper. By the time Adam finally came home Eve was a nervous wreck, and her imagination was working overtime. “Honey, what happened? Why are you home so late?” Questioned Eve. “Oh I’m sorry!

25 Public Speaking Skills Every Speaker Must Have
by Andrew Dlugan
Inspired by 25 Skills Every Man Should Know, I pondered a list of the 25 essential skills every public speaker should have. How did I do?
Every public speaker should be able to:
Research a topic – Good speakers stick to what they know. Great speakers research what they need to convey their message.
Focus – Help your audience grasp your message by focusing on your message. Stories, humour, or other “sidebars” should connect to the core idea. Anything that doesn’t needs to be edited out.
Organize ideas logically – A anized presentation can be absorbed with minimal mental strain. Bridging is key.
Employ quotations, facts, and statistics – Don’t include these for the sake of including them, but do use them appropriately plement your ideas.
Master metaphors – Metaphors enhance the understandability of the message in a way that direct language often can not.
