Hit me Again! ... I Can Still Hear Him! Everything you need, to give an Unforgettable Talk.

Long ago, in an old auditorium the chief executive officer had been droning on and on delivering one of the most boring speeches. The audience was trapped and could not slip out because they were frightened of the wrath of the CEO. Suddenly, a large piece of plaster from the old ceiling, at the back of the hall, broke loose and fell onto the head of a man at the back of the room, knocking him to the floor. The speaker was too far away to notice but those close to the unfortunate man hurried to his assistance. As they lifted him off the floor they heard him whisper "Hit me again, I can still hear him!"
