Review of May 9th

The Toastmaster of the day was Lee, whose theme of the day was his son, whose birthday was this week. He shared what historically went on during that day, and who else shared his son's birthday. The general evaluator was Lauralee, who complimented Lee on explaining the process of table topics and what the evaluators do for the guest and new members. Lauralee also reminded our evaluators that it is important to both compliment and give ideas on how to improve, not just compliment.
We would like to welcome our new members from this month, Diane and John, and our guest Brian.
There were two speakers on Tuesday. Dave was the first speaker, who gave his farewell speech called Punmanship. He personalized his puns for his audience including don't spell part backwards... its a trap, for the educators in the room, for the scientist he said don't trust atoms... they make up everything. To end his speech, Dave said for us to make sure to add puns to our speeches, because it is our repunsibility. His speech evaluator was Peter, who made sure to match his tie to Dave's for his last speech. One thing Peter complemented Dave on was his use of pauses to emphasize his point.
Brian was the second speaker of the day, who gave his speech, Lost in Translation. His speech went through how he was a general manager for UPS working in Tijuana, Mexico and going across the border between the States and Mexico. While working there, he went to cross the border one day like he always did. This day was different, and the border patrol were more strict. While inspecting his car, he accident said there was a hooker, instead of a pillow in his car... and that was only the beginning of his problems. His speech evaluator was Laimons, who said he had a fluid delivery of the speech, and that it met the purpose of his book speech, the humorous advanced manual speech three.
The Table Topics Master of the day was Avital, who asked some tough life questions. She asked Diane why we make excuses, who said the question made her think of a saying she uses. Diane said that excuses are like armpits, we all have them and they stink. Christa Colway, our table topics winner of the day, talking about how she feels like it is better to express your feelings then suppress them, but she works with a lot of level headed people who joke that she is crazy for her New York attitude.
The word of the day was inertia, as provided by our grammarian of the day, Christa. The timer of the day was Paul. 

Have a good day!
