    Circle
    What did I say?

    Make a Circle
    One of my favorite illustrations for a speech was asking the audience to make a circle with their thumb and their index finger. Hold it right up there.  Now, all together, bring the circle down to your chin. (I would make the circle with my right hand to demonstrate and then bring the circle down to my right cheek. Generally about 98% of the audience would bring the circle down to their cheek.  Then I would ask, “What did I say.” and then the audience would catch on that they had been had. I’d say, “This guy down here slid his circle from his cheek to his chin and said, ‘I did it right.”

    People don’t do what you tell them to do, they do what they see you doing and if you don’t like the way your children are turning out then take a look at yourself. Remember when you point one finger at them you have three fingers pointing right back at you. Don’t like the way your teenagers are driving and smashing up your cars?  Take a good look at your own driving, after all you have been teaching them by your example for years.

    Say Something Good
    Father’s Day. Another old custom created by the greeting card industry. Just the same, it is nice to be remembered with a phone call or an e-mail and there isn’t a big investment involved.  May God bless America and keep out troops from harm.

    Points To Ponder
    Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked. and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. Hermon Goring

    A Little Humor
    Multitasking = screwing up several things at once.
