The Winning Speech - Friday humor

Here is the speech that won my Toastmasters club contest. Now the race is on to improve my humor for the Area B2 Contest.

I am competing in the Humorous contest to learn how to improve my humor, because humor is the key ingredient in making any presentation enjoyable. In fact, I believe that you don't need humor in your speech, unless you want to be invited to present again.

Please post comments, if you have encountered stupid questions that I could possibly use in my speech. Some friends have already helped me with suggestions, and I need a lot more stupid questions for a winning speech.

A friend shared this stupid question which I will try to work into a future version:

My all time favorite stupid question was when I was a nanny for triplets. On many occasions I was questioned about them being triplets. The onlooker would say "triplets, how neat, how old are they?" I responded with "Seven years old". The next question was usually "All of them?"


Here is a one liner that I like : If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless, or naked?
