When 3 guys shared a flat a few years ago, one of the group bought only Free Range Eggs, while the others always bought the alternatives.
Each had their own egg stash in the fridge.
Free range guy was adamant he could tell through taste and colour, the difference that his chosen variety had over the others.
Being the good mates they were, the other two decided to test his taste and substituted the eggs from their own cartons to the free-range carton throughout a whole year of flatting.
Free range guy was unaware of the deception until confession time at the end of the year.
This story was elicited through Dita’s creative method of choosing Table Topics at this week's Sunrise Toastmasters meeting.
She brought fortune cookies, the enclosed premonition of each being the subject we should speak to.
The randomness and obscurity of some of the ‘fortunes’ led to many interesting revelations.
This week also brought the end of a Speechcraft course, presented by Sunrise Toastmasters, to staff of a city accounting firm.
Delivered around Covid lockdowns, the course seemed to take far longer than its six meetings. However the outcomes for all six participants and contributing toastmasters was thoroughly satisfying. Everybody gained from the experience.
Money raised from the Speechcraft tutorials will be donated to Sue Bagshaw’s Youth Hub Trust https://www.youthhubchch.org.nz/ in the name of late member and advocate Jesse Jones.
A very satisfying week, all round.
By the way, my fortune cookie states “The one I love will call for no reason.”
Waiting...
...no reason required...
...still waiting…
Give me another fortune cookie.
