2 Minute Challenge

Go and get yourself a stopwatch...
or your 'phone...
or the microwave (OK, you may have to go to the microwave!).
Ready?
At Toastmasters tonight, we had a lot of Table Topics and no speeches. A table topic is an impromptu speech. You are given a topic and are asked to speak about the topic for two minutes. If you speak for one minute, that's inside the allowed time and you can feel joy in your success! If you speak for a second over two and a half minutes, you can be disqualified from competitions. The most important thing to remember with table topics - is... Lie. Weave a tall story... Exaggerate... but pretend that you are being serious! Your challenge is to attempt the table topics which I asked my fellow Toastmasters to attempt. Stopwatch ready??? (A genie has been granting wishes. I am a little confused however, at the wishes which you have been asking for. Could you please explain why you made your wish?? 1. You wished for wings. 2. You wished to be sent to Antarctica for the winter. 3. You wished to be a chicken. 4. You wished for a hook to be placed at the end of your hand. 5. You wished for a never-ending supply of pumpkins. 6. You wished for the ability to see in the dark.
