HUMOROUS SPEECH CONTEST 2014

One of the things that make me a Toastmasters junkie is the numerous interesting people I meet there. This year’s humorous speech contest, hosted by Smart Speak Toastmasters club of  Nairobi - Kenya, was no different. I met many interesting people including the following

Bandage Head: He wears a bandage round his head to stop his intelligence from escaping. But it did not seem to be working since the IQ meter installed at the Goan Gymkhana hall would shoot up 10 scales when he entered the hall and fall 10 notches when he left.

Smart Alley: There is also this interesting fellow, I believe his name was Smart Alley who treats his car tires to fresh air every Sunday by removing the used air then inflating the tires afresh.

Colourvision: He cannot find a colour TV to buy because all the shops he has been to stock black ones, but he wants a green one. Any help to aid Colourvision find a colour Telly would be highly appreciated.

Kairerani: I had too the good fortune of meeting Kairerani the violin player and Karaoke Dj. Kairerani can bring eyes to your tears as the 12 year old poet found out.

The poet: 12 years old, as stated above, wrote a ‘persuade with poem’ letter to Kairerani that is available for download after sending a sh310 seed to +Job Mogire.

Leyong:  Oh! you should meet him some day. Leyong is 3 years old, single and not married or divorced before. He is still breastfeeding and therefore not sexually active.

Bunty: Accompanied +Komal Shah of Smart Speak Toastmasters Bunty Patel, risking his bread and butter, was there too but without his wife Babli. However we got to meet more of Babli through Bunty’s banter than we did Bunty himself. In fact I couldn't but wonder what would happen if Babli was to bump in to find Bunty bubbling on about Bablis battering ways.

The boys: Lovely lads! While others would device devious ways of snatching bicycles from their more affluent neighbors these were content to bet each other which one of the rich kids would fall off their bikes and how hard.

The Mud Man: Altitude sickness effects people in different ways. The milkman after leaving the city for the allure of a quick shilling in the highlands confidently tells his bosses that he knows the place. He knows it is muddy. Later he notices that the mud along his foot path was drying as fast as   he was making money. The Watchman: The Watchman at OFFICE OF THE CHIEF – RUTHIMITU (introduce to me by +Phillip Muhia) is such an inspiration with his shinny boots, trench coat and a World War II maroon beret. Many a boy want to be like him when they grow up.  Pastor Kanyari: was there reloaded and primed. The seed planters not only sowed, but were ready water the seed until  it matured

MBA generation: After his MBA thesis was approved nine months after valentine, he not only went on to learn critical thinking, resource and management skills, but was on hand to teach us vital communication skills. Accompanied +Harry Karanja of Early Birds
