Ron Turrentine - "This is NOT a Speech"

I presented this speech at my Toastmasters club, the Bridgestone Babblers, on Jan 28, 2010. It's my own "tricky" way of teaching you how to prepare a speech, by using sarcasm and denial. My friend & fellow Babbler Dustin Adkison agreed to allow me to take some stabs at him in the speech. Also, when I made the reference to the "Sociopathic Toastmaster" coercing someone to write their speeches for them, I was staring at my friend, Stephen Cornwell. Of course, Stephen writes all his own material, but I thought it would be funny to use him for that gag since he was actually a contestant in the International Speech contest in 2009. Enjoy!
