From the files of the March 2009 edition of Toastmaster magazine…here’s a story about Toastmasters’ Humorous Speech Contest. In the “Filled With Funny” article written by Paul Sterman on page 14 there’s this story.
Sid Davis, a member of the Lake Morman Toastmasters in Mooresville, North Carolina, playfully dissed the Starbucks crowd – or at least those patrons who order the “mocha, frappe, latte, venti, pony expresso, whipped cream sissy drink. If you want a milkshake go to Dairy Queen!” he growled.
His coffee themed comedy routine took first place in the 2005 division round.
I’d love to read that speech. I concur, whipped cream does NOT belong on top of coffee. While Starbucks coffee is too strong for me to drink without milk, one shouldn’t froufrou it up.
Besides, if it takes you 5 minutes to order your drink, I suspect you have already had too much caffeine.
Looking forward to reading the rest of your blog.
Glad I found it
Thanks Laura. More good stuff to come.
