Sometimes you just need to have some fun at Table Topics! Here’s a good start.

1. Men’s brains are larger, but as they age, they also shrink faster than women’s brains. 2. Women’s brains operate at a higher temperature, due to burning more glucose. 3. Women use more of their brains when they think. 4. In general, men are better at math and women are better at language skills….

Great ideas for your next Table Topics Master

Judd — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 01:39:35 +0000

Hey Jumbalya fans here are a few tabletopics that you may find fun to use for your next meeting.Â Just tell ‘em you found ‘em right here at toastcast.org or titusvilletoastmasters.org

I know… you probably saw this as one of those emails that people circulate around the office, and that’s where I got it, but heck, this one is right up our club’s alley.Â So, I didn’t write it, i’m just reporting. Feel free to comment.

————————————————-

Here are a few things to think about that you probably have never thought about;

Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinatedÂ instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to “put your two cents in”.. . but it’sÂ only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny goingÂ to?
Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried inÂ for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the sameÂ tune?
WhyÂ did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up likeÂ every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called aÂ hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call itÂ a hemorrhoid when it’s in your butt?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They’re going to see you nakedÂ anyway.
Why is “bra” singular and “panties” plural
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horribleÂ crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re bothÂ dogs!
If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn’t heÂ just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables,Â what is baby oil made from?
DoÂ you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the firstÂ place?

How to be a Great Speaker…

Here is an interesting blog entry.Â Might be good for people thinking they need to get involved in Toastmasters.

Â How to be a Great Speaker…

Did you know that when surveyed about their greatest fear, people more often say public speaking than death? Thatâ€™s right, apparently people would rather die than have to address a group of people.

Hm, must be bad.

I used to be one of those people. For me the mere thought of standing in front of a crowd made me feel like tossing my lunch.http://www.blargy.com/2006/09/public-speaking/how-to-be-a-great-public-speaker-by-a-former-nervous-wreck/

21 Good Thoughts

Judd — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 00:04:08 +0000

I recieved this in my email today, and thought it was pretty good. I don’t normally go for this sort of thing, but for Monday, it played well for me. Hopefully you can use this for some speech fodder. - Judd P.S. I have no idea who wrote it, but it’s floating around the net.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
FIVE. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk..
FIFTEEN. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

How to defeat writer’s block or should I say Speech Writer’s Block

Judd — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 11:20:26 +0000

Sometimes its difficult to start a speech off, you have topics and a variety of other conscise bit and pieces to put together, but this may help you sort things out, well done article.
———————–
It’s not the fear of writing that blocks people, it’s its fear of not writing well; something quite different. Certainly ever writer has moments of paralysis, including myself, but the way out is to properly frame what’s going on, and writer’s block, as commonly misunderstood, is a red herring.

The Power of Simple Questions - Think Tabletopics

Judd — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 16:09:24 +0000

Whether you answer ‘em or write ‘em, impromptu questions can be done to help or hurt the respondent… here we find out how to better compose our questions.

Everyone asks questions. When you conduct a usability test, you ask questions. When you gather information from a client, you ask questions. When you write a customer survey, you ask questions. It is interesting that effective interviewers sound like effective interfaces in many ways. They lubricate information flow by getting out of the way.

10 Secrets of a Businessman…

Judd — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 00:05:14 +0000

I like these tips, especially when you change Businessman to Toastmaster. When each member takes personal ownership in their club.

The Number 10 Secret is:
No matter how many millions an individual amasses, if he is in business he must always consider his wealth as a means for improving living conditions everywhere. He must remember that he has responsibilities toward his associates, employees, stockholders â€” and the public.

In another behavior modification story, the same rules that apply to winning that job may also help you win that next speech contest…

A survey of 223 senior executives and managers found that 63% rely on “likeability” and personality of a candidate when making hiring and promotion decisions.

First impressions are made in a fraction of a second.

Great Toastmaster Fodder right here!

Extract: “When we see a new face, our brains decide whether that person is attractive and trustworthy within one-tenth of a second, the results of new research indicate.

According to US psychologist, Alex Todorov, people respond intuitively to faces so rapidly, that their reasoning minds may not have time to influence the reaction.

“The link between facial features and character may be tenuous at best, but that doesn’t stop our minds from sizing other people up at a glance. We decide very quickly whether a person possesses many of the traits we feel are important, such as likeability and competence, even though we have not exchanged a single word with them”, Mr Todorov explained.”
